Poetry. "Donald Wellman proposes THE CRANBERRY ISLAND SERIES as a work of 'autoethnography,' incorporating poetry, translation, autobiography, family history, and geography--all focused on the Cranberry Islands in the Gulf of Maine.

The interweaving of his long family history--both its European and Native American strands--with the actual landscape of the islands and the waters around them produces a complex, compelling work that extends the method of Charles Olson's Maximus Poems .
