While looking through the tremendous book, "Maine Lines," I came across a poet named Samuel French Morse. I had never heard of him before, and with a little research have come to see that he was a wonderful poet. I shall now look for his books in used bookstores.
He summered in Hancock, Maine, so he is the newest of Maine's dead poets to be placed on our map, though I was not able to find where exactly he was buried. He was born in the city of witches, the city of peace, in MA.
I found a nice memoir about him online, written by one of his former students.
