Maine Metaphor: The Gulf

“Susan Dorman has produced an unusual book about Maine. She discovered Maine decades ago and remembers that her ‘eyes were made new here,’ seeing ‘its beauty and ways in something of the manner of those Northmen,’ the Vikings, who sailed into the high, rocky coast of its gulf. Now, she writes about this evocative place, the gulf, in a manner in itself evocative, seeing it as representative of Maine’s great diversity of nature and fascinating way of life.”
