Lake Superior is more than a body of water--it's a force of nature, a keeper of memories, and an enduring source of inspiration. In Feet in the Waves, thirty-six poets from across the Lake Superior region and beyond explore the lake's many moods: its icy grandeur, hidden dangers, quiet beauty, rich history, and deep emotional resonances.

From rocky shorelines and agate-strewn beaches to shipwreck legends, all interwoven with moments of spiritual reflection, these poems capture the unique relationship between people and the largest freshwater lake on Earth. With striking photographs by Arthur Durkee, this anthology invites listeners to experience Lake Superior through a variety of perspectives.

Whether you know the lake well or have yet to encounter its vast horizon, Feet in the Waves offers a lyrical and unforgettable journey into Lake Superior.
