Indiana considered Fog his “one Maine landscape,” noting that “One morning I woke up and looked out the window, and that’s all I saw.” [1]
Fog was also the subject of a poem by Carl Sandburg, which Indiana cited in a September 12, 1963, interview with Richard Brown Baker as the inspiration for his 1945 poem “October.”
