Poetic Obituaries: Ted [Holmes] may be best known

as a writer of short stories and essays about the Maine coast and its people. He was a careful listener and tried to write the truth, without adornment. He was an influence on many younger writers, teaching such writers as Stephan King and Sandy Phippen. His books include "Mostly Maine," "A Part of the Main," and "Driftwood." He also wrote a column for Downeast Magazine for a number of years. He was published in various periodicals, including Yankee and Echoes. One of Ted's stories, Drums Again, was chosen for publication in The Best American Short Stories of 1972.
