This is Upton's award winning account of a commercial fishing season in Southeast Alaska - the lonely hours at sea as well as the close community of the fishing fleet; the sudden, violent storms and glorious days of sun; the difficult, frenzied work and quiet moments of contemplation. In this new third edition from Epicenter Press, Alaska Blues remains a powerful evocation of time and place - of a people and their way of life, and haunting, beautiful shores that draw them back, season after season.
Joe Upton was a commercial fisherman for 25 years in Alaska and Maine. He is the author of seven books about Alaska. Joe lives with his wife on Bainbridge Island, Washington, and Vinalhaven Island, Maine.
