Most Beautiful

It's not always easy to unplug, taking notice of the gifts that nature offers. Elizabeth McBride's poetry and prose invites you to bear witness to the non-events, by simply noticing a boulder or the worn remains of a dock, stretching toward the horizon. There is much to be discovered in this region of Michigan! Experience what is here, what has been, and what is changing right beneath your feet and over your head. Let the artwork and lyrical verse on these pages whet your appetite for the great outdoors, as you venture out into this place Most Beautiful.

Advance Praise:

"McBride takes us on a glorious tour of the area: to the farms of Port Oneida, to the little town of Empire, to the vistas of Pierce Stocking Drive and the thrill of Pyramid Point and its shipwrecks."
--Betsy Wagner, Glen Arbor Arts Center, Artist-in-Residence Program

"In her luminous work, Elizabeth McBride's elegant and earthbound writing creates that uncommon experience only a fine artist can give us."
--Jack Ridl, author of Practicing to Walk Like a Heron and Saint Peter and the Goldfinch
