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 (256 pages) 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.

“…A beautifully written book about commercial fishing in coastal waters. Joe Upton delivers both the reality and romance of Southeast Alaska.”
    –David Guterson, author of Snow Falling on Cedars

Alaska Blues is the moving, true account of a season of fishing, living on the edge, surviving not only on the whims of nature but also the shifting fortunes of the fishing industry.”
    –Palo Alto, California, Daily News

“One of the most unique sea sags ever written–wonderfully awash in salt air and water.”
    –Ernest K. Gann, author of The High and the Mighty
