Beyond Acadia
Author: Rich Bard
Publisher: Down East Books
ISBN: 1608936724
Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Travel just a few miles beyond Acadia National Park and you will find a little known and seldom visited patchwork of quaint fishing villages, rocky coastlines, wild blueberry fields, and vast stretches of forestland reaching all the way to the Canadian border, a hundred miles away. Beyond Acadia: Exploring the Bold Coast of Down East Maine is a travel guide that brings together, for the first time, the amazing opportunities to enjoy a day or a week in Down East Maine, leaving the crowds and traffic of Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island behind. Here you will find trails on The Bold Coast overlooking cliffs that plunge a hundred feet to the crashing surf below, quiet country roads winding through the forest, picturesque villages, art galleries, breweries, wineries, farm stands, campgrounds and inns. What you won’t find are t-shirt shops, traffic jams, or overcrowded hiking trails. Beyond Acadia is an engaging and informative guide to this relatively undiscovered area east of Ellsworth and Winter Harbor, stretching to the Canadian border. Compelling photos, clear maps and an easy to understand format will make the book indispensable for people who long to take their Maine experience “beyond Acadia,” both literally and figuratively.

Trespassers at Acadia
Author: Albert Belisle Davis
Publisher: Mondebon Editions
ISBN:
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 121
Book Description
Collected and new poems by award-winning poet and novelist Albert Belisle Davis. By way of traditional and free forms, the poems use the fictitious parish of Mondebon in South Louisiana as a backdrop for the thoughts and expressions—both humorous and serious—of modern day Acadian (Cajun) and non-Acadian residents of Mondebon. As Louisiana Poet Laureate Jack Bedell says, Davis "gives voice to trappers, wives, cooks, old aunts down the bayou, ancient philosophers and warriors, fallen priests, saints, sinners, and folks stunned to disbelief and faith by real life. These lines come from wisdom, from pain, from time, from heart, and from the echoes of belly laughs."
