To avoid the imprecision and metrical monotony of earlier verse translations, Magoun has used prose, printed line for line as in the original so that repetitions, parallelisms, and variations are readily apparent. The lyrical passages and poetic images, the wry humor, the tall~tale extravagance, and the homely realism of the Kalevala come through with extraordinary effectiveness. "This authoritative new translation of the Kalevala, together with the materials the volume contains relating the poetic style of the Finnish songs to the style of other orally composed poetry, is especially significant to students of European folklore. Both Professor Magoun and the Harvard University Press have placed many generations of folklorists in their debt." ~ Journal of American Folklore. "For English students of theKalevala, unless they have a good working knowledge of both Swedish and Finnish, this is an indispensable book." ~Folklore. …

Authors: (From obituary) William David Barry (1946-2023) longtime reference librarian at the Maine Historical Society published extensively about Maine and Maine people.  The Maine Historical Society's website lists 130 publications under Barry's name, and many collaboratives, Barry wrote many book reviews for the Maine Sunday Telegram over 50 years as well as articles and book reviews for Maine History Journal, DownEast Magazine, Portland Monthly Magazine, and other publications. Barry authored the first comprehensive history of Maine in 100 years: Maine: The Wilder Half of New England (2012); co-authored Greater Portland Landmark's The History of Deering (2010); and was in the middle of researching and writing a history of the Maine Historical Society - The Mind Still on the Search, the first section was published in the 2023 Maine History Journal. He was a president of the Baxter Society and instrumental in its publication, Mirror of Maine, compendium of 100 books by Maine writers. Barry received the 2005 Neal W. Allen Jr. Maine History Award from the Maine Historical Society for his work in Maine History. Frances "Frannie" Peabody (from Portland Women's History website) left her mark on the Portland community in two areas: historic preservation and AIDS education and advocacy. A founder of Greater Portland Landmarks, she was instrumental in the move to preserve and rehabilitate Portland's historic buildings. She was a national leader and active in the National Society of Colonial Dames, the Maine chapter of which maintains the Tate House in Stroudwater. She was very involved in activities with the Tate House and was co-author (with historian William David Barry) of Tate House, Crown of the Maine Mast Trade. She was also the driving force behind publication of This Was Stroudwater (1727-1860) by Myrtle Kittridge Lovejoy. After her oldest grandson died of AIDS in 1984, she co-founded The AIDS Project (TAP) in 1985 to provide support for people with AIDS. She opened Peabody House in the West End in 1995 as a residence for men with AIDS. The young men she befriended showed her "that one can die with dignity and with courage." She said, "I've sat with so many men and watched life leave them. So many, and they were all so brave." The AIDS Project and Peabody House merged in 2002 and became the Frannie Peabody Center, located at 30 Danforth Street. Frannie Peabody passed away in 2001 at age 98.…
