Author Talk with Kevin Koch–Midwest Bedrock: The Search for Nature’s Soul in America’s Heartland | Pearl Street Books
January 30 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Free
Join us in store to meet regional author Kevin Koch and learn about his book, Midwest Bedrock: The Search for Nature’s Soul in America’s Heartland, which takes readers on a journey across all twelve Midwest states to natural settings that defy typical stereotypes of the Midwest landscape.
Kevin invites readers to join him on a journey through the beauty of the Midwest and to discover such places as Wisconsin’s 1,100-mile Ice Age Trail that follows the furthest reach of the last glacier; Minnesota’s Lake Itasca, headwaters of the Mississippi River; and Indiana’s Hoosier National Forest, which still cradles hidden graveyards from long-abandoned farm communities.
Kevin is Professor Emeritus of English at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. He is author of “Skiing at Midnight: A Nature Journal from Dubuque County, Iowa;” “The Driftless Land: Spirit of Place in the Upper Mississippi Valley;” and “The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless.” More of his work, including shorter works on outdoor places and photos, can be viewed at: https://www.kevinkochdriftlessland.net/
