Mel Allen, former Editor of Yankee Magazine, will join us to launch his book "Here in New England", a collection of essays and stories amassed over his 40+ year career and to revisit the community memorialized in his 2018 story, "The Town That Refused To Die" https://newengland.com/travel/maine/the-town-that-refused-to-die/
Mr. Allen's connection to Bucksport was forged in 2017 in the wake of the closure of the Verso Paper Mill and he has become an honorary Bucksportian. His remarkable career in New England affords him unique, humorous, poignant and meaningful insight into the lives and ways of this rural, urban, smart, varied, scenic and ultimately loving part of the world.
