The Island City is a short volume of poetry which highlights the simple joys of a summer weekend at a cabin on a lake in Western Wisconsin. Set in Cumberland (which is also known as The Island City) at Camp Brigadoon on Beaver Dam Lake, this book is perfect for anyone who has spent any amount of time on a lake in Minnesota or Wisconsin at any point in their lives. Written in a clear and simple language, the poems (although short in length) are full of the familiar kind of images only a weekend next to the water with family can create. The Loon The loon calls out On a starry night It hears its mate Sing in the moonlight And their summery opera Continues along With a beautiful kiss From a beautiful song
