Ron Riekki organized the 2011 U.P. Book Tour for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is now organizing the 2012 Tour. The Tour is energizing readers, writers, poets, film makers, librarians and book enthusiasts across the rural Upper Peninsula. We are growing in our appreciation of the literature and film making of the U.P. and want to spread the word about a unique, regional literature.
