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.
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.
