“The landscape rolls to its own surfy rhythm. Water towers mark towns long before the line of buildings crests the horizon. In those towns–who knows? Maybe a small but beautiful art museum. A feisty little newspaper that fights the good fight. A throwback bar with a statewide cult following. The best bagel in a long time. Iowa will surprise you.”

This handsome volume features a deep dedicated section celebrating Iowa's literary heritage and the craft of writing, as well as itineraries and insights on food, farming, outdoors and arts and culture.
