"In Maine, I have watched the wind being born, birthing in the western sky and then feathering the bay's silken surface with the first tentative touch of its young pinions. I have seen the nor'westers make a sea of our meadow, rolling the high grass in waves that break on the crest of our hill. And I have felt the same wind fill a sail with a hard slap that sets my boat a running. It does the same to me. It dashes its fresh chill in my face, clears my head and sets my thoughts a running."

John Cole's classic IN MAINE is a sometimes moving, sometimes lyrical, but always personal book that reveals a man examining the progress of life and a man reveling in a natural world that not only unfolds around him, but a world in which he is an active participant.

This Islandport Press edition also adds more recent essays that still speak to the wondrous rhythms of life in Cole's signature style and demonstrate an enduring passion for Maine and the outdoors that remains unabated
