We add new items from time to time, so please check back for updates.

Bay of Fundy
By Gordon Bok
"So many times in the fog, you stop and listen for the haunting groan of that whistle-buoy, or come down the bay all iced up from a northwest wind and that little friendly winking eye of the buoy looks so much like home you can smell the coffee, but you always know that some night you could be out there seeing it from different eyes, with that little light flicking the wavetops above you, and the looming grunt of the buoy hunting the swinging blackness around you." [GB] Includes a few songs learned from family members many years ago, and "Little River," a collaboration with Maine poet Ruth Moore. View details
