“Superior Stories,” winner of the 2025 Michigan Writers Cooperative Press Chapbook Contest in fiction, is a series of six short stories which explore the lives of people who live in the northernmost part of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the Keweenaw.
Bryan Gruley (award-winning author of Bitterfrost, Starvation Lake, and other novels) notes, “In her linked story collection, ‘Superior Stories, ‘ Helen Raica-Klotz takes readers deep into the physical and emotional lives of regular people trying and often failing to do the right thing–for themselves, their families, their friends, and their northern Michigan worlds. Raica-Klotz conjures evocative settings and richly layered up-north characters with language that is at once concrete and elegiac, painting a hard yet enchanting landscape of tarpaper roofs, black ice, and hoar frost-a travelogue of human hope and grief, aspiration and desperation.”
