Description
These are poems for the fireside and the classroom and the heart. They keep alive a primary story of northern Cape Breton—including the exploitation of the fisherman and the fierce federal expropriation of land to create the Cape Breton Highlands National Park and golf course—issues that continue to resonate to this day. As does the beauty. The life on the water. And the opportunities, challenge and pain of going away. All of which emerge in this fine and accessible book.
