The View from My Window: Reflections on the Deep North

Franklin Burroughs grew up in South Carolina and has lived in Maine for more than fifty years. This new collection includes brief essays originally published in Down East magazine’s ＂Room With a View＂ column and a selection of previously uncollected essays. Ranging from coastal South Carolina to Northern Quebec, and from his childhood to the present, these essays sit squarely at the intersection of human history, natural history, and biography.

Franklin Burroughs taught English literature at Bowdoin College from 1968 to 2002. He is the author of several books, including The River Home: A Return to the Low Country, Billy Watson’s Croker Sack, and Confluence: MerryMeeting Bay. He lives in Topsham, Maine.
