This longtime lover of the land contends that to know a place deeply means to understand it on several levels. From the headwater of the Mississippi at Lake Itasca, to Wisconsin's delightfully meandering 1,100 mile Ice Age Trail, to Iowa's Effigy Mounds, to Ohio's Hocking Hills, and a smattering of romantic (and rugged, and functional) landscapes in between, Koch will burrow below often-unassuming surfaces to the layers of natural and cultural history nestled below.
Kevin J. Koch is a Professor Emeritus of English at Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. His other works include “The Driftless Land: Spirit of Place in the Upper Mississippi Valley” and “The Thin Places: A Celtic Landscape from Ireland to the Driftless.” Koch, a native of Dubuque, Iowa, can be found in his down time enjoying the natural expanses of this very same and very distinctive Driftless region.
Registration is not required for this free event. Copies of Koch’s “Midwest Bedrock” will be available for sale and signing immediately before and following the main presentation. For more information call 608-437-6486 or email [email protected].
