Megan Grumbling, M.A., developmental writing specialist, who recently published her first book of poems, Booker’s Point, was the focus of an article in the April 10, 2016 issue of the Journal Tribune and was interviewed by the literary journal Memorious.

According to Grumbling, the poems of Booker’s Point were inspired by and “old codger” named Bernard Booker, who lived on the other side of Ell Pond in Sanford from Grumbling’s childhood home.

“It’s a portrait in verse of this old Maine woodsman,” said Grumbling, describing the poems in the collection as “meditations on home, work, nature and the importance of elders.”

Booker’s Point recently won the Vassar Miller Prize in Poetry.
