Marilyn Zelke Windau’s name is well known in Wisconsin. As an established poet, she’s published numerous collections. Her poems arise from lived experience with nature, her work as a master gardener and former art teacher, and her family. She’s a docent in reality at her local art museum, but in her upcoming book Beneath the Southern Crux, Zelke Windau is our guide through art of another kind, the wonders of the southern hemisphere: seas, mountains, ruins, and above all, resilient human life and culture in landscapes that are at once beautiful and formidable.
Beneath the Southern Crux is due out in spring of 2023. While you wait, you can find her work in two anthologies from Water’s Edge Press: The Water Poems and The Aging Poems.
