Notes: Tom Montag is a middle western poet and essayist who has all along been interested in place and the hold that the land has on us. Much of Montag's poetry reflects his middle western background. Montag was editor of Margins: A Review of Little Magazines and Small Press Books during the 1970s, and an editor and feature writer for Wisconsin's Fox River Patriot during its heyday from 1977-1979. With his wife Mary, he edited and published the Wisconsin Poet's Calendar 1982-1984, subsequently handed to the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets to continue. Montag worked nearly a quarter of a century at Ripon Community Printers, Ripon, Wisconsin, for the Lyke family, serving as a pressman, supervisor, training director, and manager of customer service at the award-winning company.
