[Victoria Slotto · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another wonderful poetry chapbook by Peralta...one that takes us to the coast of Eastern Canada. This book gives an exquisite sense of the place and the people of the region. Precise imagery and a tribute to the work of artist David Blackwood.

I'm the author of this book. David Blackwood is a renowned printmaker and artist from Canada, whose best-known works evoke the atmosphere of a past era in the far reach of Newfoundland and Labrador. The sonnets in this collection - both conventional and experimental - were inspired by, and re-imagine, the stories behind some of those works.
