An Image of Monhegan, Platinum Prints, by John Kleinhans
The island, which has
no automobiles or even paved roads, has an unsullied quality that quite naturally evokes another time; in these platinum prints, with their plush shadows and phosphorescent highlights, this pristine
quality becomes almost preternatural. And the things of Monhegan -- the scored rocks, and swept grasses in harsh noon light; the prim white houses wraithlike in the fog-speak for themselves with
grave eloquence in Kleinhans' photographs. Having An Image of Monhegan is the next best thing to being there. Paperback. Amazon.com

Maine : The Seasons, by Terrell S. Lester, Ann Beattie, Richard Ford, Richard
Russo, and Elizabeth Strout
Photographer Terrell S. Lester presents rich images of his adopted home state in Maine:
The Seasons. With essays by Ann Beattie, Richard Ford, Richard Russo and Elizabeth Strout, the 120 full-color photos of Maine in all its natural and cultural glory and nuance will make residents proud and potential visitors covetous. Beattie, a half-year resident, writes, "Maine is a serious place masquerading as a summer paradise," articulating something intangible also evoked by these photos of struggling mom-and-pop fishing businesses and untouched landscapes, something that modern visitors and homeowners increasingly crave as it slips from sight: authenticity, as opposed to quaint- making gentrification.

Night Train at Wiscasset Station, by Lew Dietz and Kosti Ruohomaa
Part
chronicle, part credo, this book neatly sketches the character of Maine. While it can be playful, even comical, it’s as direct and as illuminating as late-winter sunlight.
Lew Dietz's words, interspersed with Kosti Ruohomaa's photographs, paint a picture of a time gone by in a state that can be beautiful, haunting, desolate and welcoming all at the same time. Paperback. Amazon.com
