Out of the Gilded Frame

Louise Winchenbach's first poems were about her childhood and her divorce as she tried to process the pain she was experiencing. Several were written as her mother died of cancer. Now things are "lighter" and reflected in the fun poetry interspersed with the former hard stuff. Many of these are written about the fishermen of New Harbor and Monhegan evoking memories of her childhood in a rural Maine fishing community. Out of the Gilded Frame is a collection of Louise Winchenbach's poems. About the Poet: Louise Winchenbach, was born in Waldoboro, Maine and is the mother of two grown daughters, Jessi and Vanessa. She came home to Maine seven years ago and began writing about the State she loves and the Mainers who have touched her life. Louise volunteers at the Cumberland County Jail, The Root Cellar and Missio Dei Church in Portland. She has a strong faith and enjoys playing the fiddle, running, art, her three Sable Burmese cats, Monhegan, and the stories farmers and fishermen have to tell.
