Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Photographer Terrell S. Lester presents rich images of his adopted home state in Maine: The Seasons. With essays by Ann Beattie, Richard Ford, Richard Russo and Elizabeth Strout, the 120 full-color photos of Maine in all its natural and cultural glory and nuance will make residents proud and potential visitors covetous. Beattie, a half-year resident, writes, "Maine is a serious place masquerading as a summer paradise," articulating something intangible also evoked by these photos of struggling mom-and-pop fishing businesses and untouched landscapes, something that modern visitors and homeowners increasingly crave as it slips from sight: authenticity, as opposed to quaint-making gentrification.

From Booklist
"Maine is a land of diversity and extremes," photographer Lester states in the introduction to his exquisite homage to the state he now calls home. His collection of photographs is interspersed with four brief essays that describe Maine during each of the four seasons. The essayists--Ann Beattie, Richard Ford, Richard Russo, and Elizabeth Strout--capture perfectly the feeling of the delicate spring, the brief but welcome summer, the early fall, and the lurking winter. Russo's essay, a beautiful meditation on how experiencing autumn in Maine helped him to understand his grandfather's recognition of the autumn of his own life, is particularly moving. Lester's photographs, divided into sections by the seasons, give the reader breathtaking visuals to accompany the essays. They are so crisply evocative that the reader can almost breathe in the cool, fall morning air or feel the fading warmth of a summer sunset. The stunning images and the idea of nature's centrality in the state remain long after the book is closed. Kristine Huntley
