Since 1979 Blueline has been quietly binding together literature that reflects the distinctive Adirondack spirit. These poems and stories, collected in one volume for the first time, reveal an accumulation of regional writing that forms a contemporary history of the Adirondacks. This history not only celebrates the geography of the Adirondacks but a distinct way of looking at the world. Under the editors' discriminating and watchful eye, the pieces work as a whole to become a natural and elegant extension of the region's landscape and people.
