“STAND: a poetic exploration of Lubec smokehouses,” a 25-page booklet of poems about McCurdy’s Smokehouse in Lubec, was written by Camden Hunt, a student at College of the Atlantic, after a field trip to the smokehouse in 2019. The poems explore McCurdy’s Smokehouse history and process through a moving series of reflections that make the listener or reader feel like they are there, working side by side with the people who made their living for decades at McCurdy’s.
