Conversations from the Pointed Firs: authors Glen Libby and Toni Small

Editor’s Be aware: The Maine Monitor is partnering with Peter Neill of the World Ocean Observatory to carry you this hour-long interview podcast. 

Conversations from the Pointed Firs is a month-to-month, interview-style podcast throughout which Peter talks with authors and artists who reside in Maine, work in Maine, or in any other case derive their creativity from the essence of Maine.

The visitors for this episode are Glen Libby and Antonia “Toni” Small, authors of the e book “Caught: Time, Place, Fish” which comprises portraits and essays on fisheries and fishers, an important side of the spirit of Maine.

Libby is a working fisherman, proprietor of Port Clyde Contemporary Catch, and an advocate for fishing coverage in Maine. Small is a photographer, educator and ocean advocate.

Collectively they co-authored the e book, which is an account of the sweetness, fragility and profound change that characterizes fishing, fishing households, and the communities who rely upon them. By means of portraits and essays, “Caught” chronicles the person and neighborhood efforts to remodel a lifestyle for all who rely upon the ocean’s bounty.
