Description:

"I am blessed to have known the poets who are the subjects of this memoir," Mike Pride wrote in his Acknowledgements. "They have enriched my life, and I have done my best to represent them as I knew them". In two straightforward sentences, Pride captured both the spirit that animates this book and the journalistic sensibilities he brought to writing it. Northern Voices explores the work of six remarkable poets, Donald Hall, Jane Kenyon, Maxine Kumin, Charles Simic, Wesley McNair, and Sharon Olds, all contemporaries, and the ways in which their artistry was shaped by the natural beauties and hard realities of life in New Hampshire. Readers will also meet Seamus Heaney and Hayden Carruth and come away, just as the author did, enriched by the experience.
