ALIVE TO THIS:  ESSAYS ON LIVING FULLY BY 20 MAINE WRITERS

Edited by Kara Douglas and Erin O’Mara

 

“For the past year I have been questioning whether to go to seminary. It will be a life-changing decision. What’s troublesome is that I’m not a Christian. In fact, I don’t identify with any religion. Further, I don’t believe in any god, especially not the one I grew up with. So how did I get here?”

 

Described by novelist Susan Conley as “a tender, trenchant collection,” Alive to This is an anthology of essays by writers from all parts of Maine who share their experiences of living fully –  moments of joy, exuberance or transcendence, places that restore their spirits, work that engages them, hardship and sorrow they have endured. Present throughout is the state of Maine – its history, landscape, and people.
