Author Description

Good Harbor is a book of poems about trying to provide shelter for the ones we love. In poems rooted in New England and New York, Max Heinegg writes about parenting and teaching, navigating the rough waters of life to find safety in the harbors of home and community. Max's poems are grounded in places and real-life experience, but also draw on a lifelong passion for music, history, mythology, cooking, exploring nature, and a quarter-century in the classroom. His work reveals what is magical in the mundane and the complexity of the expected.
