Androscoggin River Portrait Beneath Brunswick Mills
A lyrical account follows the Androscoggin from Umbagog Lake through Errol and Berlin into Maine and past Brunswick to Merrymeeting Bay. It contrasts the river’s power and pollution with yellow mill buildings, the Pejepscot Paper Company, and mill ruins, then walks the Topsham side past a dam and a restored footbridge, ending with WPA restoration notes. The piece blends nature, industry, and memory in a meditative river portrait.
