Night Train at Wiscasset Station

by Lew Dietz, Andrew Wyeth (Foreword), Howard Chapnick (Afterword)

"Night Train at Wiscasset Station" is a masterpiece. Lew Dietz's words, interspersed with Kosti Ruohomaa's photographs, paint a picture of a time gone by in a state that can be beautiful, haunting, desolate and welcoming all at the same time. I grew up in Maine, and this books makes me nostalgic for home. A must-read for anyone who's ever been touched by the state of mind that is Maine.
