Kirksville

See Kirksville through the eyes of Bob Mielke as he explores the people and places of the unassuming college town in Northeast Missouri. Walk in the footsteps of the poet as he shows you the natural beauty of its wooded parks and dives deep into the city's colorful past. Along the way meet Susan Sontag as she dances in a honky tonk fireworks (perfectly legal) explode overhead and friends gather in saloons for a quiet drink. Mielke's poems are fresh clear and accessible. Kirksville is an honest and enthusiastic celebration of a city many have loved and few can ever forget.
