Rivers of Ink: Literary Reflections on the Penobscot

By Steven Long

Maine's Penobscot River has shaped the land, the people, and the stories of an entire region for thousands of years.

Rivers of Ink: Literary Reflections on the Penobscot gathers 61 Maine writers-poets, essayists, and fiction writers-to trace that legacy through work that moves from the river's Indigenous origins to its industrial past to its uncertain environmental future. The collection spans geological time, personal memory, and cultural reckoning, offering a portrait of a waterway that is as contested as it is beloved.

With an introduction by Sherri Mitchell Weh'na Ha'mu Kwasset-attorney, activist, and author from the Penobscot Nation.
