THE GREAT OUTDOORS
The Maine wilderness has long entranced those who make their way through it. More than just taking place outdoors, these stories share a thread of reverence for our state's mythical places, and play between the lines between reality and imagination.
This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,
Bearded with moss, and in garments green, indistinct in the twilight...
Loud from its rocky caverns, the deep-voiced neighboring ocean
Speaks, and in accents disconsolate answers the wail of the forest.
EVANGELINE: A Tale of Acadie by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 - 82)
PRAISE FOR OUTDOORS STORIES
"Like the songwriter he is, [Randy Spencer] picks his words judiciously, commits to them and makes them do his bidding. And the result is a stunning portrait of a truly special place, illuminated by the people who live for their yearly visits to those remote Maine woods." John Holyoke, Outdoors Columnist Where Cool Waters Flow
"Evergreens is an authentic slice of the Maine Outdoors heritage and Holyoke’s best writing over his career, a wonderful addition to the bookshelf of any outdoors person." V. Paul Reynolds, Editor, Northwoods Sporting Journal, Evergreens
