"North Woods at Night brims with wonder and the 'splendid darkness' of a part of Maine that stays with all lucky to spend time there. We hear about ten-year-olds sneaking out at night to paddle a lake, the particular dark of Moosehead, hiking the 100-Mile Wilderness alone, the magic of fireflies, the sudden appearance of a moose, and what it's like to truly be lost, among many other experiences and observations. In a wide range of forms, the writers in this collection render the North Woods so vividly and in all its glory. "

-Gibson Fay-LeBlanc, poet and nonprofit leader

"This collection, lush and lyrical, so full of insight and awe, reminds us that Maine's largest forest is a place of wonder, reflection, and transformation. As reverent as a prayer and as delicate as a dream, the poetry and prose in North Woods at Night transport readers to a world of vernal pools and moonglow, towering pines and starshine. In a deep-tree world unpolluted by light, we are invited to witness what truly shimmers."

-Hollie Adams, author of Things You've Inherited from Your Mother

"Alive to the majesty and mystery of the forest, the poems and stories of North Woods at Night plumb memories of idyll, capture poignant and gripping moments of transformation, inhabit the creaturely life, and chart the sublime terrain of Maine's vast kingdom of trees, revealing a world just beyond our ken. An essential collection and guidebook for the spirit, it invites readers to experience one of Maine's greatest treasures."

-Gregory Howard, author of Hospice
