Conversations from the Pointed Firs is a monthly series of discussions between host Peter Neill and Maine-connected authors and artists about new books and creative projects that invoke the spirit of Maine, its history, its ecology, its culture, and its contribution to community and quality of life. Authors and artists interviewed live in Maine, work in Maine, or otherwise derive their creativity from its essence.
