Publisher Description:

Inspired by The Pine Tree State­--Maine's diverse landscape, natural beauty, rural communities, and independent people--the author's 150 haiku poems, along with her photographs, reflect the Maine she knows and loves. Bette A. Stevens's imagery draws the reader into her world of wonder and delight. My Maine takes readers on a poetic journey through Maine's four seasons. Whether you're a native Mainer or from away, Stevens's short story poems and photographs will resonate. The collection opens with a haiku tribute, "Maine Pines and People." The journey continues with the rejuvenating spirit of "Spring Awakenings" and "Summer Songs"; then on to more of the magic and majesty of the places and people of Maine in "Autumn Leaves" and "Winter Tales." This is a poetry collection to be slowly savored, made even more delectable with the author's original drawings and photographs. In addition to its poems and photographs, My Maine includes state symbols and interesting facts about The Pine Tree State.
