Joy Howard

The delectable recipe feature “Tomato Joy” [p. 36] draws on Howard’s latest cookbook, Tomato Love, a project that she says was a boon during the isolation of the pandemic. “It gave me a much-needed outlet and also helped me stay focused on the type of food writing that’s always been my passion: recipes that are inspiring and practical for home cooks,” says Howard, who lives in Western Massachusetts with her husband and their two youngest daughters.

Wayne Curtis

A former longtime resident of Maine, Curtis still spends summers in the fabled region he brings to life in “Find Your Way Down East” [p. 58]. After two-plus decades of exploring the area by car, foot, bike, and kayak, “sometimes I find it hard to see what’s right in front of me,” he admits.

“But then I paddle out and the fog suddenly lifts, and my breath is taken away.” The author of two books, Curtis has written for The Atlantic, American Scholar, and many others.

Corey Hendrickson

“Living in Vermont, it’s easy to feel a bit jealous of Maine’s sheer size and rugged shoreline,” says Hendrickson, a freelance photographer and videographer who’s ranged across Maine, including while filming for Weekends with Yankee. For this issue’s “Weekend Away” [p. 48], he turned his camera on the beauty of Moosehead Lake, and says he found himself balancing a mix of “foreboding respect for the wild landscape and a desire to experience more of it.”

“That thrilling feeling encountered in childhood—seeing shapes in clouds, faces in trees, mysteries unexplained— that’s a piece of the magic captured in Michael Fleming’s driftwood art,” says Graves, a New Hampshire writer who has frequently profiled New England artisans in the pages [“To Hear the Voice of Wood,” p. 72]. “In over a decade of writing about craft,” she adds, “his is some of the most beautiful, startling work I’ve encountered.”

As a New Hampshire native, Yankee’s senior features editor has done a lot of hiking in the White Mountains—including the Presidential Traverse, the route that figures in his story about hiker Xi Chen [“‘In Trouble. Can’t Move. Could Die.’” p. 90]. “But as the veteran rescuers I talked to were careful to point out, trouble can happen to even those who’ve logged many hours on those trails,” he says. “I don’t think I appreciated that or understood that until I did this story.”

Cait Bourgault

Born and raised “in the great state of Maine,” Bourgault fell in love with photography in high school and later attended the Salt Institute of Documentary Studies. Now an established freelancer who works for clients like L.L. Bean and The New York Times, she says photographing “Find Your Way Down East” [p. 58] left her “fascinated by the beauty and peace of Down East Maine. It feels untouched and filled with so much history and pride, and hard-working people.”
