In these technologically advanced days, it is most important to return to a focus on our natural world and the marvels it holds for us and the ensuing generations. For centuries, families have retreated to summer havens on lakes, rivers, and ponds to reconnect with nature while escaping the stresses of everyday labor. These poems celebrate the history and allure of the natural attractions that one such Maine lake offers. The author calls Songo Pond home year-round. This book reflects the author's affection and the influential experiences of rich days spent on the shores of a lake.

What our Customers say

Nancy E. Randolph, JWB owner, markets my titles on a wide scale. She also sets up book signings. I find it infinitely more enjoyable and rewarding to work with this Maine-based publisher than to deal with national publishers from out-of-state.
Finally, JWB does not publish just any aspiring author. Randolph is very selective, accepting only material that she is convinced will sell. I highly recommend JWB to any author. 
Tom Seymour, author of Wild Plants of Maine and many other titles.
