A 2023 U.P. Notable Book
UPPAA consulted with Upper Michigan booksellers, book reviewers, writers, and publishers to winnow down the notable books to a bare ten titles. These titles demonstrate the wide reach of U.P. literature as they span juvenile, middle-grade, YA, and adult audiences. You can find reviews of many of these books on the UP Book Review. ..These ten books have been deemed essential reading for every U.P. lover and we highly recommend you ask your local librarian or booksellers for them today!

Superior Voyage is now available in digital form through the Great Lakes Digital Libraries. Unlimited access is available to public library card holders of their member libraries. Find out more here.

U.P. Book Review by Tyler R. Tichelaar
Marquette Poets Circle’s Newest Book Is Superior
“Five years ago, the Marquette Poets Circle wowed readers with their debut poetry book, Maiden Voyage. Their follow-up volume is titled Superior Voyage, and it is appropriately titled for it is a superior volume of poetry that just happens to have been written near Lake Superior, though the magic of Lake Superior informs many of the poems.”
