Wake

A couple of day ago someone showed me the website of a new literary magazine called Wake.  They are associated with GVSU, and they're looking to publish works about the Great Lakes.  Since MSU is right smack dab in the middle of several lakes, I thought some of my readers might like the link.   
I actually heard about this literary magazine about a year and a half ago, when they were first starting.  I happened across a bookmark from them, promoting their about-to-start journal. 
There's not much on the website, but I did find this little piece about an "Okie" who identifies with being from the Midwest.  It's an interesting piece.  I've never thought of Oklahoma as Midwest, or, as this author comments, from the Southwest.  I've always thought of it as Great Plains sort of place, which may or may not be right.   I once knew someone from Oklahoma , but he defined the place as Southern, which, again, totally not what I thought. 
Maybe I need to go to this Oklahoma.  Just because it seems to be a place in-between or at the very least, unidentifiable in some way.  And that's the sort of place that would be interesting to me.
