Although he might not have planned it as such, this book echoes an ancient paean to the land we call Maine.About the poet: Robert Maurice Chute is a poet, and was the fourth poet to win the Chad Walsh Poetry Prize, which is awarded annually by the editorial board of the Beloit Poetry Journal, for his poem Heat Wave in Concord.
