Combining poetry by well-known figures such as Longfellow, Robinson, and Miliay with the work of a wide variety of contemporary writers, this collection provides glimpses of Maine life in all
seasons that will lift the spirit and gladden the heart.
Through a selection of twenty poems, Maine's premier anthologist, Wesley McNair, reveals the drama and beauty of the state's four seasons. In these pages, Maine poets from the coast to the
northern border explore such themes as the nightlong arias of peepers in springtime; a whale sighting on the ocean in summer; an abandoned house on a hill swept by autumn winds; and, in the icy
temperatures of winter, the triumph of starting the family car. These poems show the rich contribution that the seasons make to Maine life.
