The University of Maine at Augusta and the University of Southern Maine are partnering to host “One sun rose on us today: Stories from Maine’s Long 20th Century,” a virtual half-day conference set from noon to 6:30 p.m. Friday, June 4, online via Zoom.
This conference will include three panels — Wabanakiscapes, 20th Maine Jewish Culture, and 20th Century Queer Maine — concluding with a keynote by Monica Wood, award-winning author of “When We Were the Kennedys.”
The conference will explore some of the many peoples who have claimed Maine as their home, bringing together scholars from across the state to discuss aspects of Maine’s 20th century, which has received relatively little sustained critical attention to date. The panel discussions will seek to illuminate and articulate not only how we want to understand Maine’s past and present, but also how we want to configure our future.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — High elevations of the Sierra Nevada are sporting new dustings of snow as a late-spring weather system moves through the drought-stricken region.
The National Weather Service says the cold and slow-moving system is expected to continue to bring intermittent light to moderate snow to the Sierra and western Nevada into the weekend.
ABC10 Chief Meteorologist Monica Wood says the low-pressure system will continue to move south through the weekend with active weather through Saturday and possibly a few lingering showers Sunday. Saturday looks like it could be the most active day for thunderstorms in the Sierra, with a chance of lightning, hail and gusty winds.

Joseph A. Conforti has been helping us understand Maine for quite some time. He arrived in 1987 to establish an American and New England Studies Program at USM that trained educators and historians. Imagining New England: Explorations of Regional Identity, did what the subtitle says. Conforti edited the best book on our metropolis, Creating Portland, but still can’t fully explain why there’s no great Portland novel.
His new book, Hidden Places: Maine Writers on Coastal Villages, Mill Towns, and the North Country, discusses great novels from the rest of Maine, beginning with Sarah Orne Jewett’s Deephaven (1877) and nearing the present with Elizabeth Strout’s The Burgess Boys (2013) and Monica Wood’s memoir, When We Were the Kennedys (2012).
