I owned the Wordsmith on Main Street in the 80s and got my start writing on The Fishwrapper\, a promotional paper that focused a lot on local history. Following that I was a reporter and columnist for the Hudson (Wi) Star Observer for 27 years. It was my privilege to tell the stories of others as well as some of my own. I look forward to hearing yours.\n \nEleanor Wilhelmi\n \nEleanor Wilhelmi is a poet and editor\, and a recent graduate of Knox College and the Publishing Institute at the University of Denver. Set against the rural midwestern landscapes her family hails from\, her writing explores relationships\, grief\, and the ways our living spaces can preserve and complicate our histories. Her work has been published in the literary magazine Catch\, where she served as Poetry Editor for two years. She grew up in Stillwater.
