About the Author
Tom Montag is a middle western poet and essayist who has all along been interested in place and the literature of place. For his next project, Montag hopes to look at one town in each of the middle western states -- the people, the history, the landscape -- to see what it is that makes us what we are. Beyond that, he will continue working on his book about the people and places of the Fox and Wolf River basins of Wisconsin, "Middle River Tangle."
