It is our hope that this project will grow to connect poets, composers, and performers from across Maine, cultivate a culture of song in our state, and provide the basis of a network for fostering collaborations and strengthening artistic community. We are fortunate to have wonderfully talented local poets Lisa Moore, Gregory Brown, and Winter Lewis interweave their words with Songs From Here. Our performances will also feature readings from locally based poets, creating a seamless and intuitive program of poetry and song that highlights local creativity. The centerpiece of our musical program will be a world premiere of a new song cycle from Erica Ball featuring exclusively poets from Maine.

The apparent magnification of size of the shadow is an optical illusion that occurs when the observer judges their shadow on relatively nearby clouds to be at the same distance as faraway land objects seen through gaps in the clouds, or when there are no reference points by which to judge its size. The light projects their shadow through the mist, often in a triangular shape due to perspective. The "spectre" appears when the sun shines from behind the observer, who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist or fog. ![]() The Brocken spectre was observed and described by Johann Silberschlag in 1780, and has since been recorded often in literature about the region.Ī semi-artificial Brocken spectre created by standing in front of the headlight of a car, on a foggy night. The phenomenon can appear on any misty mountainside, cloud bank, or from an airplane, but the frequent fogs and low-altitude accessibility of the Brocken, a peak in the Harz Mountains in Germany, have created a local legend from which the phenomenon draws its name. The figure's head is often surrounded by the halo-like rings of coloured light forming a glory, which appears opposite the Sun's direction when uniformly-sized water droplets in clouds refract and backscatter sunlight. A Brocken spectre (German: Brockengespenst), also called Brocken bow, mountain spectre, or spectre of the Brocken is the magnified (and apparently enormous) shadow of an observer cast upon clouds opposite the Sun's direction.
