Tatelbaum, Linda (Inscribed by author), - Carrying Water as a Way of Life; a homesteader's history.

Appleton, Maine, About Time Press, (1997). VG PB. Inscribed by author on title page "To Jack Barnes - Your patience in remembering me all these years awaiting "the book" m. to me. I look forward to meeting you and talking books, rasberries, and other thorny topics! Yours Linda Tatelbaum 11/3/96" Jack Barnes was a Hiram ME author. From the book - They even take the top soil they don't know they are taking. And they will take wihtout knowing it, the quiet language of wilderness. They will teach the land to speak in neighborhood tongues, the cries of children, the slamming of screen doors, the whirr of lanwmovers, the land will still be here but how will the new neighbors learn to speak the language of trees. Who will teach them to plant again? I hear them whisper again. "Good-bye" And then I listen again in the blue-green dark, hoping they will point me into the future, as they have guided me to health in the past. I stand still in the road, breathing in this sharp scent, and then at last when I am quiet enough, I hear their final message. "So it is.So it is."they say And the voice trails offlike that of a dying grandmother, and I am the one left here grieving. Minor marginal notes on a few pages.
