Old Maine Woman by Glenna Johnson Smith
Glenna Johnson Smith writes with eloquence and humor about the complexities, absurdities, and pleasures of the everyday, from her nostalgic looks at her childhood on the Maine coast in the 1920s and 1930s, to her observations of life under the big sky and among the rolling potato fields of her beloved Aroostook County, where she has lived for nearly seven decades. The book also includes some of her best fiction pieces.
Glenna Johnson Smith was born in 1920 in Asheville, Maine, in coastal Hancock County. She earned a bachelor's degree in home economics from the University of Maine in 1941. That same year she got married and moved to a farm in Easton, Maine, where she and her husband raised three sons. She taught English and home economics at schools in Easton, Fort Fairfield, and Presque Isle, and was heavily involved in high school and community theater productions. Presque Isle is now her home. Her writing has been published in her first book, Old Maine Woman, as well as Echoes and Yankee magazines, and in anthologies, including Maine Speaks: An Anthology of Maine Writers. She has been named Presque Island's Citizen of the Year and received an honorary doctorate form the University of Maine, Presque Isle. She was nominated for the Exemplary Older Person Award by the state of Maine.
