It is a commonplace that poetry is the literary form that best expresses our deepest feelings. Those who seldom read poetry regularly turn to it for weddings or funerals. The poems in this gift-size anthology speak to the seasons of Maine, celebrating familiar scenery and events in a common language. The 20 poems (five for each season) represent the range of seasonal landscapes and activities from the coast to the northernmost border.

Poetry.Winner of the 2015 Cider Press Review Book Award. "The elegiac is a most tender and yet most rigorous accounting. Every detail of its fact and decorum must register upon flesh, upon the syllables of flesh. In WORK BY BLOODLIGHT, Bouwsma unfailingly discovers the higher registers and the keenest syllables. They beautifully prove to be a 'wingspan against snow.'"--Donald Revell

Winner of the James Laughlin Award of The Academy of American Poets. (1999) Tory Dent's is a voice like no other. Her use of language is virtuosic, complex, and plangent. These are daring poems that also dare the reader. HIV positive, Dent writes out of her own experience and profound refusal to look away or suspend feeling or turn from love. When her first book of poems, What Silence Equals, appeared in 1993, it was recognized as "immediately one of the great, necessary books to come out of the AIDS crisis, flinging its challenge in the face of death." With HIV, Mon Amour she moves further into the whirlwind -- as witness, lover, and observer.
