LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County’s poet laureate is among 23 nationwide who have been chosen by the Academy of American Poets as 2021 Poets Laureate Fellows.
Seigel HOUGHTON — In recent weeks, the country has been introduced to the likes of Amanda Gorman, the national poet laureate, who read poems for the inauguration of President Joe Biden and for the Super Bowl. While he is not expecting to be seen and heard on quite that scale, M. Bartley Seigel is ecstatic to be named the U.P. Poet Laureate, as was announced earlier this month. In fact, he is not yet sure how best to use his new platform. “The biggest challenge for me is that it’s so open-ended in terms of what I can do,” he said. “There aren’t any real expectations of me. I can just be a poet. It’s an honor that I hold, I attach it to my biography or I can do what Marty (Achatz) did. (He) really took it upon himself to take an educational role, and a community outreach role, and sort of anywhere in between.
‘Northwoods’ elopement packages are perfect pandemic twist for U.P. wedding photographer Updated Feb 13, 2021; Facebook Share HOUGHTON, MICH. -- Last spring, as the pandemic was dashing the dreams of many couples who’d planned on tying the knot in 2020, wedding photographer Adam Johnson had a message for all of his brides- and grooms-to-be: That date you’d saved?

With public gatherings restricted for most of the year, the creative and ebullient Johnson, owner and lead photographer for the Keweenaw Peninsula-based Brockit Inc. photography studio, encouraged couples to join him in shifting the focus from large, traditional ceremonies to intimate elopements instead.

Bartley Seigel, an associate professor of creative writing and literature at Michigan Tech University, is among five finalists for the position of U.P. Poet Laureate for 2021-23. HOUGHTON — Ask the average writing student which form of writing they despise most, poetry would likely be on the list. However, ask Michigan Tech associate professor M. Bartley Seigel, and you get a very different answer. For Seigel, poetry has been something he has been working on for longer than even he seems to realize. “I’ve been a publishing poet for the last, I don’t know, 15 years of my life,” he said. “I had a book of poetry come out back in 2013. I kind of made my bread and butter as a literary magazine editor, and as a teacher of creative writing, but I’ve always been pretty low-key.”
