Lorine Niedecker (1903-70) lived on Black Hawk Island most of her life and celebrated the sights and sounds of this place in poems ranked among the 20th century's finest. She lived first in the log-sided house and later the house near the river from 1947-70.

Erected 1991
Nobody, nothing than time
 ever gave me  unless light
  greater thing   and silence
  which if intense
    makes sound
