She also studied languages at Middlebury&#8217;s Language School, and went on to teach languages at the high school and college levels. Merrill published two books of poetry, <em>Cones From the Pines of Maine<\/em> (Falmouth Publishing House, 1952) and <em>More Cones From the Pines of Maine<\/em> (Dorrance and Company, 1965). Her poetry, described as &#8220;simply written, yet profound in mood and imagery,&#8221; reflects her love of nature and the state of Maine. Merrill also published two non-fiction works about Maine: <em>The Lakes of Maine<\/em> (1973) and <em>A Salute to Maine<\/em> (1983), and was a frequent contributor of articles to the <em>Lewiston Journal Magazine<\/em> and <em>Down East<\/em>. She was active in numerous clubs and committees, including the Maine Writers Research Club, for which she served as president for two years.    <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","collection-category":[],"class_list":["post-1288","collection","type-collection","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection\/1288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/collection"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection\/1288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7308,"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection\/1288\/revisions\/7308"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1288"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"collection-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/library.une.edu\/mwwc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/collection-category?post=1288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
