At least, summertime is what I think of when I think about the Boundary Waters. And boy, could I use a little sunshine and warmth right now.

Authors of three MHS Press books will be reading and speaking about the BWCAW region at the Loft this Tuesday, March 1, at 7:00 PM: Betty Hemstad, author of Wildflowers of the Boundary Waters; Greg Breining, co-author of Paddle North; and Joe Paddock, author of Keeper of the Wild. Also, poet Stephen Wilbers will read from his chapbook, This Northern Nonsense, and his forthcoming Canoeing Across Time: A Boundary Waters History. Hope to see you there!

For your viewing pleasure, here’s a quintessential summertime image from Greg Breining and Layne Kennedy’s book, Paddle North:
