Maine in Four Seasons: 20 Poets Celebrate the Turning Year

by Wesley McNair (Editor)

Overview

It is a commonplace that poetry is the literary form that best expresses our deepest feelings. Those who seldom read poetry regularly turn to it for weddings or funerals. The poems in this gift-size anthology speak to the seasons of Maine, celebrating familiar scenery and events in a common language. The 20 poems (five for each season) represent the range of seasonal landscapes and activities from the coast to the northernmost border.
