Jeanne Van Wieren of Williamston is a poet and artist who has published a holiday-themed book inspired by life in Michigan. We talk with her about “Solstice Dance."

Williamston-based writer and artist Jeanne Van Wieren has published a seasonal book of poetry.  She loves her surroundings here in mid-Michigan, and they have inspired the pieces in her latest work.

Current State’s Scott Pohl talked with her about “Solstice Dance: A Celebration of Winter in the Mitten in Poetry and Pictures.”

Scott Pohl has maintained an on-call schedule reporting for WKAR following his retirement after 36 years on the air at the station.
