THE WRITERS LOUNGE PRESENTS: TOMMY MISCHKE

Join host Tom Riddell and co-host Teri Brown as they welcome author Tommy Mischke to The Writers Lounge. Sit back and relax as Tommy discusses what it's like to be a writer and he will also talk to us about his book: Winter's Song- A Hymn to the North

Winter's Song offers to take the reader into the northern areas of the Midwest and introduces them to people who have a love affair with winter. It's not the mediocre climates of winter that other parts of the United States experience, but the harsh and unforgiving brutality that mother nature bestows to Northerners, giving them an opportunity to learn from and to appreciate the adversity of a most challenging season. Often times, winter is described as otherworldly by the people of the northern regions, but it has been said that this season of snow, cold and bone chilling winds has also influenced and largely shaped them into the people they are. A nod to spring, summer and autumn; also welcomed when they take their turn on the stage, but winter, one could argue, has many more dramatic and interesting stories in its wonderous archives. Mischke delivers to us stories that are rich in childhood memories, cultural references, spiritual beliefs as it all relates to winter and humor is also found within the pages of Winter's Song. He has a specialknackin going deeper into what it means to be human and in our relationship to nature. He gives us winter and invites us to welcome her for all that she is. Her harshness and beauty await within Winter's Song.
