In this Issue: The redesign is complete! Feast your eyes on the new and improved magazine of Wisconsin thought and culture. We've got Bon Iver, a new children's museum in Black Earth (whaaaat?), an immigrant's tale, and poop pills—and that's just in the new Happenings section. We also meet the dynamic duo behind New Glarus Brewing Company, learn how to draw by listening to the radio, and shrink an entire circus down to 1/25th its normal size. Fiction, poetry, and book reviews complement a fantastic profile of the new Wisconsin Poet Laureate: Karla Huston. Who's ready for a Spotted Cow?
