Todd Nelson, a retired educator, builds upon the success of his critically acclaimed debut essay collection, Cold Spelll. In this new compilation, Nelson delves into his Maine experiences, weaving together a series of concise essays. Unlike the traditional focus on specific locations, these essays center around the art of observation. While readers will recognize the Maine setting, the precise locales remain intentionally elusive. The Land Between the Rivers invites readers to explore the act of seeing, fostering a deeper connection with place, language, and storytelling. It encourages us to peer beyond mere appearances and engage in the realm of imagination.

Following his critically acclaimed first collection of essays, Cold Spell, retired educator Todd Nelson follows it up with a new collection of short essays rooted in his Maine experiences.
