Ned White (2.27.1946–1.29.2021) found his passion for writing at a young age. This small booklet is a special collection of his poetry and prose from high school through college and a few years beyond.
During those years, Ned served on the editorial board of “The Panel” (Belmont Hill School) as a high school student, was managing editor of the Yale Literary Magazine, taught English and literature at Saint Andrew’s School (Boca Raton, FL), and much more. |
A memorial anthology of Ned's poetry, a short story, photography and selections from six years of his highly popular blog with Maine's Bangor Daily News with essays on food, travel, science, humor, those realms where physics and spirituality merge, human relationships, cultural nuances, health, philosophy, aging, and more. Designed and published by Ned's wife, Carla, after he "changed residence." Order directly from her at the button below.

Maybe it started with his trip to Devils Tower ten years earlier, or maybe it was connected to his life-threatening abdominal surgery a few years later. But for Billy Buck, something is seriously askew, seeming to corrupt the very fabric of reality around him.
Now he's on a cross-country road trip with his two teenage kids to deliver them to their mother in Southern California as part of their custody agreement. In a decrepit old van they call the Green Latrine, one can expect misadventures over three thousand miles. But what happens along the way lurches sharply off the highway into the realm of the nearly impossible, challenging their view of themselves and the world they inhabit. Something out there - powerful and invasive - has its sights trained on them. |
For Jack Lovett, the sudden death of his wife unleashes the sort of grief that goes far beyond the usual boundaries - into unexplored zones of doubt, confusion and superheated passion. Emotionally rich, laced with irony and other people's bad behavior, THE WIDOWER draws us into the wounded head and heart of one vulnerable man -- and a series of tumultuous adventures with too many casseroles, too many women, hostile in-laws, unwelcome surprises at work, and a budding love interest who just might be able to understand why he is the way he is.

He arrived at Los Alamos National Laboratories as an amnesic heap in a dusty arroyo with only a candy wrapper as a hint to his identity. But Reese Archuleta would soon become one of the leading string theorists of his age.
Dahlia "Sage" Stipes, a gun-wielding Buddhist-in-training from Wichita, is on the lam from a train wreck of a marriage. When she and Reese meet, apparently by accident, they soon suspect that what binds them together -- and inflames their passion -- may be anything but coincidence. A heady and rollicking adventure of intrigue, Taosim, physics and love -- set against the unruly cultural landscape of New Mexico -- STRING THEORIES careens through a broad sweep of unlikely characters and events toward a final, mind-bending revelation.
