Isles of Shoals

Coupled with the paintings are excerpts from poet Celia Thaxter's book Among the Isles of Shoals. This text combines natural history, memoir, and poetry to create a work that still resonates today. Since its publication in 1873, it has been considered to be Thaxter's masterpiece. Together, the poetry and paintings reveal a world that few have inhabited and thousands have visited. Isles of Shoals is a tribute to a region that still retains a great deal of mystery and beauty and to the artists who have defied the elements to capture it.Boutelle, Annie is the author of 'Isles of Shoals ', published 2006 under ISBN 9780971132184 and ISBN 0971132186.
