North Woods at Night is a lyrical anthology exploring Maine’s iconic forest under the cover of darkness. With each story and poem, readers journey into a world both eerie and enchanting, as 38 writers reflect on the solitude and wonder of the North Woods after sunset. This collection celebrates the nocturnal beauty of a land where shadows deepen, stars dazzle, and the wilderness whispers.

Rivers of Ink: Literary Reflections on the Penobscot invites readers on a journey through Maine's storied Penobscot River. This anthology blends poetry and prose from a diverse collection of writers, offering meditations on the river’s natural beauty, cultural significance, and environmental challenges. Guided by heartfelt storytelling, the works explore connections between humanity and nature, honoring the river’s role as both a life source and a mirror of resilience. With proceeds supporting conservation, Rivers of Ink stands as a testament to the enduring relationship between people and place. As one contributor reflects: “The Penobscot knew the way all along.”
