NMEAC: Environmentalist of the Year
CELEBRATE WITH US
On Friday, April 25 we will be celebrating our 27th Annual Environmentalist of the Year Awards & Celebration.
The largest gathering of our peers in northern Michigan; food, fun, friends, and music.
Featuring Michael Delp as our Keynote Speaker
When he's not on rivers, Michael Delp is dreaming about them. His writing is focused, on the world of rivers and water. He spent 40 years teaching, 13 in Grayling and then 27 in Interlochen, where, for over a decade, he was the Director of the Creative Writing program.
His poems and stories have appeared nationally and in many anthologies, and he is currently the co-editor of the award winning "Made in Michigan" book series from Wayne State University Press. He has several books of poems and his most current collection of short stories AS IF WE WERE PREY was cited by Foreward Magazine as a bronze award winner.
Mike is an obsessed fly fisherman and spends most of his summers at his cabin on the Boardman River, Reeling Waters. He is a known recluse, seeks the silence of eddies and slack current, and will often disappear into the brush when he hears other anglers approaching. His desire is to live in Aboriginal Dreamtime and over the next decade, he hopes to abandon his possessions and go on 'walkabout' navigating, first the Manistee River from its mouth to its point of origin, traverse several miles, and navigate back down the AuSable, Native American style.
