June Campbell Rose and Stacie Smith first met in 1967 in East Boothbay, Maine.
This turned out to be a very special meeting during which time a bond was made: both were born-again poets who kept journals and notebooks, filled with their thoughts laid down, like life lines to.
Smith met this mother and child at the post office and wanted to take their portrait.
Rose had recently given birth to her first son, Nathan.
Smith, a photographer and poet, had traveled from Eugene, Oregon, to Maine.
