Interviewing Milwaukee’s new Poet Laureate at the Urban Ecology Center is perfect. Not only is Jeff Poniewaz considered an eco-poet and a nature poet (he differentiates between the two in that the former carries a message, a call to action), he also sat on the original board of directors of the Riverside Nature Center which eventually morphed into the Urban Ecology Center. Quite at home, he exhibits pride in the place where, until recently, he taught his UWM course, “Literature of Ecological Vision.”

Transform Riverwest • Transform Milwaukee • Cooperatives

We believe we can do this on our own. We believe we can do this with the help of our neighbors.

Cooperatives:An old meme (an element of culture) brought forward to serve our community. We copy what came before, but discover it anew as process. Co-ops are varied, so I will limit comments to the Riverwest Coop & Cafe, Riverwest Public House and Riverwest Cooperative Alliance.
