Story-poems of rural Maine, of neighbors, of seasons, and of life lived slowly and fully.

Kate Barnes wrote wise and moving verse as Robert Creeley said, "of a deep and heartfelt clarity." She lived and wrote on a farm in Appleton, Maine and was the state's first Poet Laureate. Her poems contain wisdom gently imparted as life lessons. You'll feel a sense of connection from her work - a connection with the past, with the earth, with her friends, and with the human condition superbly defined.

About the Author
Kate Barnes was Maine's first official Poet Laureate and was also a gifted artist, a serious scholar of literature, a maker of beautiful handmade books, and a serious student of song. Mary Azarian grew up on a small farm in Virginia, where she had horses, rabbits and chickens. After graduating from Smith College, where she studied printmaking with Leonard Baskin, she moved to a farm in northern Vermont. There she taught for four years in one of the last one-room schoolhouses in the state. She has been a full-time printmaker since 1969. Her books include A Farmer's Alphabet and the Caldecott Medal-winning Snowflake Bentley.
