Otter Tail Review: Stories, Essays and Poems from Minnesota's Heartland

The Otter Tail Review, originating from Otter Tail County, the "geographic crossroads" of Minnesota, is an anthology of regional folklore and cultural history. Featuring fiction, poetry and essays from such well-known Minnesota authors as Bill Holm, Winona LaDuke and Robert Bly-who contributes two original poems-as well as hitherto unpublished story-tellers, ranging from age 11 to 91, the Otter Tail Review conveys a strong and vivid sense of place. Its themes run the gamut from early settlement to a community's coming of age, from earth's labor to simple pleasures, and its stories are told in unique, genuine voices. The present collection is the first of a biannual series.Profits from sales of the Otter Tail Review are dedicated to library and literacy programs in the Upper Midwest.
