STILL MILL is a one-of-a-kind account documenting the birth and evolution of a world-class papermaking culture, and the shocking, sudden destruction of that whole culture as told by generations of the people, ourselves. Our history. Our sociology. Our strengths, beliefs and humanity. Our music. Our Maine and our America. Most of all, our working class testament of pain and pride – a privilege to collect and protect.

In 2014 Pat was named the Poet Laureate of Bucksport “for as long as she shall live.” STILL MILL is a more than two-and-a half-years-in-the-making gift to her town and her people whose voices she loves.
