Poet and activist Mihku Paul
Editor’s Note: The Maine Monitor is pleased to partner with Peter Neill to bring you a new hour-long interview podcast, “Conversations from the Pointed Firs.” This monthly program is produced in partnership with WERU Community Radio in Blue Hill.
What is the spirit of Maine? Conversations from the Pointed Firs is a new one-hour interview program with artists and authors attempting to capture the elusive elements of this special place in which we live. Peter Neill of Sedgwick is the host of this new program, and his first guest is Mihku Paul, indigenous native of Maine, poet, educator and activist. They discuss concepts of wilderness, relationship with nature as established by first peoples, and her experience growing up in Maine as expressed through her reading of eloquent personal poems, and thoughts on spirit of place.
