How are histories lost, absented, and dismembered, but also salvaged, uncovered, and remembered. Moreover what roles do fiction, non-fiction, and poetry play in connecting stories of place to the makings of home? Join three authors who call Lake Huron home through the process of re-calling Huron’s histories.
