Painting South Pier is a book of poetry by Dawn Hogue that considers each season at Sheboygan’s South Pier neighborhood.
These are the poems of a fascinated heart and mind, of lucid seeing and simple language that celebrates both nature and our part in it. Broken up by season, Painting South Pier does more than merely describe the earth’s subtle and not-so-subtle changes; it paints an intimate human portrait rooted in ecstatic love for all things bright and not-so-bright. A quiet, humble wisdom hums from within each poem, as does a refreshingly sanguine yearning to “shout life in spring’s cold sun.” — John Sibley Williams, author of As One Fire Consumes Another
