MAINE: The Home Place

Murad Sayen, . . Univ. Press of New England, $45 (120pp) ISBN 978-1-58465-293-9

Photographing the people and places of the state in which he has lived since 1979 ("I will never be a Mainer," he writes candidly) Saÿen covers Maine in five sections—"The Land"; "The People"; "Farms"; "Koans, Elegies, Fractals and Sonatas"; and "The Coast" plus a set of "Photographer's Notes." The result is a striking portrait of an inimitable and vast landscape. (Oct.31)
