For many years a recurring dream of the sea visited me whenever life felt hard, frantic, or uncertain. Not the gentle, rocking ocean with a creamed-coffee colored beach and soft, rolling swells of sand-soaked water, but a sea of wild waves cresting in frosty, stark-white lace, exploding against unforgiving, graphite-gray granite cliffs, salted spray careening back into a magician's roiling cauldron of blue-green enchantment. - Kathryn Balteff
The Bold Coast of Maine also known as Downeast Maine, and, from ancient times, The Dawnland... Many people dream of living here. But few live that dream... at least year-round.
In this anthology, 14 writers and artists share the realities and abstractions of living life Downeast. From the serene and meditative flow of tides to the mysteries of ubiquitous boglands in winter; from the mythical and necessary gathering of plant medicines to the arduous labor of foraging from the seabed; from the security of retiring comfortably in rural Maine to the appalling realities of food insecurity here in the easternmost regions of the United States... This anthology explores life Downeast with humor, delight, honesty, and raw integrity.
Proceeds from sales of this anthology will benefit The Schoodic Food Pantry of Gouldsboro, Maine... working to ensure that none of our neighbors goes without food.
