Jacques Poitras - "My newest book, Imaginary Line: Life on an Unfinished Border, was published by Goose Lane Editoins in September 2011. It tells the story of the international border between the province of New Brunswick and the state of Maine, the oldest section of the line dividing Canada and the United States. The book will take the reader on a journey from one end of the boundary to the other, recounting how the drawing and the enforcement of the border has affected the people and communities along it."
