OFF RADAR: ‘Wildflowers of Maine Islands’ and ‘Maine in Winter’
A great new field guide and a collection of stories from the Maine Metaphor series
By Dana Wilde
“Wildflowers of Maine Islands: The Downeast and Acadia Coasts,” by Glen H. Mittelhauser; University of Maine Press, Orono, Maine, 2021; 392 pages, softcover, $28.

Now UMaine Press has released another guide by one of that book’s authors, Glen Mittelhauser.
