Essayist and poet Bill Holm, who was nationally known for his distinctly Minnesotan writing, died at age 65. On this program, Midday features some highlights from Holm's many public appearances and rememberences from those who knew him.

Holm is the author of several works, including "Boxelder Bug Variations," "Coming Home Crazy," and his 2007 book, "Windows of Brimnes: an American in Iceland." That final book was named for his cottage near a small fishing village in Iceland, where he spent his summers. In this program, Midday features some highlights from Holm's many public appearances.
