  HERE IN NEW ENGLAND
  Unforgettable stories of people, places, and memories that connect us all.

  From the time he published his first story in Yankee in 1979 to the day he retired as its editor in 2025, Mel Allen’s writing has captured the unique essence of New England’s and the people who call it home. Here for the first time, Allen has collected 45 of his favorite pieces, adding intimate new introductions and postscripts to put them in context. The feel and flavor of New England lives within the covers of this engaging collection.

  Mel Allen has spent nearly half a century finding fascinating people and places he wanted to write about and assigning countless others to the finest writers in New England. He became Yankee’s fifth editor in the summer of 2006, after previous roles as writer, senior editor, and executive editor. In 2018, he was inducted into the Folio Magazine Hall of Fame for editorial excellence. He has taught magazine writing and creative nonfiction for the past 25 years, divided between the University of Massachusetts-Amherst and MFA Bay Path. His previous book is A Coach’s Letter to His Son. He lives and writes in New Hampshire.

  Admission to this event is free and open to the public.
