It is commonplace that poetry is the literary form that best expresses our deepest feelings. Those who seldom read poetry regularly turn to it for weddings, funerals, and other milestones. This Take Heart anthology--the second collection from Maine Poet Laureate Wesley McNair's weekly newspaper column--is chosen from the work of poets all over Maine, representing a wide cultural view of the state.
Called by poet Philip Levine one of the great storytellers of contemporary poetry, Wesley McNair is the author of more than twenty books, including Lovers of the Lost: New and Selected Poems and The Words I Chose: A Memoir of Poetry and Family. He has twice been invited by the Library of Congress to read his work, and has won the Robert Frost and Theodore Roethke Prizes, grants from the Fulbright and Guggenheim Foundations, two Rockefeller Fellowships, and two grants from the National Endowment for the Arts. In 2006 he was selected for a United States Artist Fellowship as one of America's finest living artists. He is Maine's Poet Laureate and lives in Mercer, Maine.
