Amasa Speaker Factory wanders Michigan's Upper Peninsula with a mining helmet, a pickaxe, and a dizzying soundtrack.
Chad Faries sifts through abandoned mines, family history, and the quiet damage of loving Iron County, Michigan--a place that keeps trying to break him. His poetry mines the U.P.'s economic decline, stubborn resilience, and awkward small-town rituals, balancing bleak humor with bruised affection. Both a personal autopsy and a regional love letter, Faries proves that identity, like iron, is forged under pressure and usually leaves a mess behind.
I have a free audio code available as well as PDF for review
