For more proof that our state is on the radar of major authors and publishers, check out this year’s Wisconsin Book Festival schedule (in last week’s Isthmus or at wisconsinbookfestival.org). Presenters include former U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power (pictured, The Education of an Idealist), Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon (Beautiful on the Outside), and 2011 National Book Award finalist Téa Obreht (Inland). Wisconsin writers are also well represented, including the authors of a massive new poetry collection, Undocumented: Great Lakes Poets Laureate on Social Justice. Prepare to buy some books for the long winter ahead.
