With National Poetry Month in April, the late winter is a busy time for Maine poets.
Colby College assistant professor Arisa White has a new memoir, “Who’s Your Daddy,” written as a collection of poems, about her trip to the South American country Guyana and the exploration of her relationship with her estranged father. Portland poet laureate Linda Aldrich writes about love, longing and bends in the road of richly lived life in her collection, “Ballast.” Later this spring, Gibson Fay-LeBlanc, executive director of the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, will issue a book of poems about his brother, who died last year, called “Deke Dangle Dive,” a reference to their shared loved of hockey.
