Adam Schuitema is reading at Walker Library in North Muskegon on Tuesday at 6:30pm. Schuitema is the author of Freshwater Boys, a collection of 11 short stories set along the Lake Michigan coast. He is Assistant Professor of English at Kendall College in Grand Rapids, and holds masters and doctoral degrees from Western Michigan University. Read more about the author at www.adamschuitema.com.
WMU’s Nancy Eimers is reading at the Bernhard Center on Tuesday at 8:00pm as part of the Gwen Frostic Reading Series. Eimers recently published her fourth poetry collection, Oz. She has been the recipient of a Nation “Discovery” Award, two National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowships, and a Whiting Writer’s Award.
Steven Rinella is making a homecoming visit to Muskegon Community College on Wednesday at 7:00pm with a “public appearance” at MCC’s Overbrook Theater. Rinella is the author of the Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisine and American Buffalo: In Search of a Lost Icon, and host of the Wild Within on the Travel Channel. Read more at the Muskegon Chronicle, and on MCC’s website.
Finally, I’m asking readers to support my own literary endeavors as managing editor of BULL: Men’s Fiction. BULL is close to making the semifinals of Docker’s “Wear the Pants” contest, but we still need votes. Read about the contest at the BULLblog, and vote on Facebook. The catch (of course) is that voting takes place via a Facebook application, which requires voters to allow Docker’s limited access to their information. A pain, but worth it... for literature, for me.

You know, I have been reading some work of Jerry Dennis lately. He is from Traverse City and writes great stuff. I am going to try to find a copy of Freshwater Boys, it looks like a good read. Any other suggestions for Michigan-based reads?

Jim Harrison is my personal favorite. I recommend True North to start. And you can't go wrong with Bonnie Jo Campbell's American Salvage.
