The day was noiseless and draped with storm clouds; a fog will-o'-the-wisped up and over the leaden pond; the place seemed to throb with deep energy, buried under a grey mantle of solitude. Some strange gods had to be living there.

A Photographic Workshop in Western Maine

October 9 – 12, 2009

The fall is a wonderful time to come to Western Maine and Women With Cameras is offering a 3 day workshop at the height of foliage season! Our workshop will be based in Brownfield Maine at the Edge of Maine gallery. We will explore three different photographic projects over the weekend. For the panorama (the “faraway” view) we will climb into the Burnt Meadow Mountains. We wil do nature/botanical studies (the “up close” view) in the magical Brownfield Bog. Our final project of the weekend will be a documentary series at the famous Fryeburg Fair. This is a digital workshop and a basic working knowledge of your camera is required although any level of photographic experience is welcome

The Log

The Launching of Travels Inside the Archive
Prose Poems- Robert Gibbons
Edge of Maine Editions



Robert Gibbons's fifth full-length book, Travels Inside the Archive, is available from Edge of Maine Editions. It contains work written daily over the period of a year & a day. Both Guy Davenport & Marjorie Perloff have compared his work favorably with Arthur Rimbaud. Richard Hoffman writes, "Travels Inside the Archive is magnificent! An enactment of full consciousness in our time. It takes so much learning and so much discipline to be so naked and free... Bravo!"

"Mockingbirds are the true artists of the bird kingdom. Which is to say, although they're born with a song of their own, an innate riff that happens to be one of the most versatile of all ornithological expressions, mockingbirds aren't content to merely play the hand that is dealt them. Like all artists, they are out to rearrange reality. Innovative, willful, daring, not bound by the rules to which others may blindly adhere, the mockingbird collects snatches of birdsong from this tree and that field, appropriates them, places them in new and unexpected contexts, recreates the world from the world. For example, a mockingbird in South Carolina was heard to blend the songs of thirty-two different kinds of birds into a ten minute performance, a virtuoso display that served no practical purpose, falling, therefore, into the realm of pure art."
