The Maine Standard: A Journal of Literature, History, and the Arts

The Maine Standard is an annual journal celebrating the uniqueness of Maine, the unusual and the unexpected. Perhaps our founder Duane Doolittle said it best: ＂We don’t pretend that we can define this evocative term, Down East . . . All that we can honestly say is that we are tuned to this particular parcel of land, and that we like its music.＂ The Maine Standard publishes stand-out writing that captures the true character of Maine, writing that sings!
