Uncover the mining history of Negaunee through poetry! Join us at the library for a poetry reading with local poet, Kathleen Heideman, featuring her newest work titled, "The Caving Grounds".
More about the book: "Through poetry and historic research, 'The Caving Grounds' excavates the rubble of Negaunee, a small town in Upper Michigan hollowed by a century of mining. The extraction of hematite caused underground collapses and sinkholes; undermined neighborhoods were deemed unstable; homes, churches and even cemeteries were moved, and dangerous areas fenced. Thankfully, a guide will emerge: Rusty."
