SATURDAY'S POEMS
-------------------------
THAW, 2003, STANTON TOWNSHIP
by Robert Schuler
hawks suddenly
bursting out of shadowy mist
banking floating
wings spread
broad
flashing bright white
through the black
oak-thicketed draws
water bubbling spiralling
silver out of sand and mud
*
THE AMERICAN MILLENIUM
by Robert Schuler
my old man said he could buy
whatever he wanted
I'm just looking around
to see what's left
Robert Schuler appears in two major anthologies of midwestern writing, Imagining Home and Inheriting the Land, both published by the University of Minnesota Press. His eleventh collection of poems, In Search of "Green Dolphin Street," has just been published by Marsh River Editions and is available from the author, schulerr@uwstout.edu or E4549 479th Avenue, Menomonie, WI 54751, for $9.00 including postage.

A NOTE TO THE POETS OUT THERE
I'm interested in considering your "poems of place" for publication in The Middlewesterner's "Saturday's Poem" feature; send two or three of your best in the body of an e-mail addressed to tmmontag@dotnet.com . Put "Saturday's Poem" in the subject line. Then be patient. I will get back to you about whether I'll use your work or not. Send along a short biographical note and information about where your books can be purchased and I'll include that when your poem runs. There's no payment involved for having your work appear in "Saturday's Poem," but the feature is seen by some high class readers. About seventeen of them, by our current count.
