Reviews

“A beautiful tribute to the Upper Peninsula, Wurdock’s poetry and photographs combine to make this a lovely, inspiring look at the hidden – and obvious – beauty of Michigan’s U.P.”

Grand Rapids Press

"Peter Wurdock's exquisite photographs and moving words combine beautifully to create an aesthetic that is extremely unique and rare in this fast paced world and reality we all find ourselves currently living in the 21st century.  Places I Hide is a wonderful oasis of beauty and contemplation, and it beckons all to come and sit awhile to see and feel the real beauty of this world."

“Between the Cottages" is short, just 44 pages of pictures and text giving a brief history of family and of summer life at Assembly Park, a 214-cottage colony on the north side of Delavan Lake near Lake Lawn Lodge, but in those pages and with few words, Wurdock evokes the timeless, seemingly endless lazy summer days spent lakeside.”

“All too often, authors write about places they may have visited or even lived, but their writing leaves you wondering whether they really KNOW the places they are portraying. Beyond the words and photographs, you can uncover Wurdock’s deep admiration for Assembly Park and its residents, as well as his dedication to accurately portray its intriguing history. Between the Cottages is a unique combination of pictorial and literary artwork that offers readers an opportunity to peak inside the walls of one of Wisconsin’s best-kept secrets.”
