In 1933, the Lady in the Lake, whose real name was Mabel Smith Douglass, took a row boat across Lake Placid and never returned. Thirty years later, almost to the day, local divers discovered her body perfectly preserved one hundred feet below the surface of the water. Her spirit has been known to haunt the famed Pulpit Rock, where her body was found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese poems are about not only Mabel Smith Douglass's death but also her life, her tumult—about the family that broke apart before her eyes and slowly crumbled like silt to the bottom of the sea—and how she lived through it. Poems about Mabel are interspersed with poems about the author's own struggles with grief, relationships, and her deep, near-obsessive love of the town where she grew up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere is so much more to this woman’s story than the way that she died. The author hopes you’ll feel closer to Mabel Smith Douglass, the Lady in the Lake, just as she does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSophie Morelli is an Adirondacks-based poet holding a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Writing, as well as a Master’s Degree in English Education, both from SUNY Potsdam.
