A collection of oral history portraits from around the state of Maine. Introduction written by Marshall Dodge, and foreword from Robert Coles. From the text: " 'The Voice of Maine' offers an extraordinary glimpse into the heart and soul of the people of Maine. From an unknown lobsterman's wife to the famous Nearings of Harborside, from northern woods to coastal towns, the perceptive interviews of Bill Pohl and the outstanding photographs of Abbie Sewall present a remarkable State, and its even more remarkable residents, in honest, close-up portraits that captivate as well as entertain and inform. For millions Maine is a special place, and here both ordinary and well-known people speak openly and clearly about what they find here, how they live, and make a living, far removed from modern urban society."
