Jim Krosschell

Jim Krosschell worked in science publishing in the Boston area for 30 years, starting as a 29-year-old production assistant, avoiding the real world until then by grad school, Peace Corps, travel and TESOL teaching. Those years included hundreds of visits to Maine. After retirement, he began writing much more regularly: more than 85 journals and magazines have published his poems and essays, and he has published five books. He now divides his time between Newton, Massachusetts and Deer Isle, Maine, and volunteers on Boards for Coastal Mountains Land Trust and the Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance.

One Man's Maine has won the John N. Cole Award for Maine-themed Non-fiction from the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance, and a Bronze Medal from Foreword Reviews.
