Even Herman Melville found inspiration on a harrowing trip across Lake Erie.Īuthor Donovan Hohn’s new book, “The Inner Coast: Essays,” draws heavily on the power and importance of water. Water has also been inspiration for innumerable Michigan writers, such as Jim Harrison, Ann Marie Oomen, Linda Nemec, Jerry Dennis and David Dempsey. Not only do the Great Lakes provide Michigan with the second longest coastline of the states - only Alaska’s coast is longer - Michigan is dotted with inland lakes, creeks and rivers offering unprecedented access to water. It’s not an accident or braggadocio that Michigan is known as the Great Lakes State, sometimes referred to as the “Water Wonderland” or “The Third Coast.” If you grew up in Michigan, moved here or vacationed here, it’s likely you spent some time on the water.
