Echoes in the Fog: Literary Reflections on the Liminal Spaces of Maine’s Coast gathers 58 poets, essayists, storytellers, and photographers exploring the mystery and beauty of Maine’s coast. From island harbors to fog-draped peninsulas, each piece reveals how tide, weather, and light shape the lives of those who call the shoreline home.
Edited by Steven Long with an introduction by Robin Alden, the anthology blends art, ecology, and memory to honor both the people and places of coastal Maine. A portion of every sale supports the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, preserving the coast that inspired these reflections.
