Description

For just about a decade, Robert Finch traveled across the “edge of North The usa” — the lovely yet seriously inhospitable island of Newfoundland. Here, he chronicles the folk, geography, and natural world of this remote and lovely place. In beautifully written essays, sketches, and stories, Finch roams from verdant valleys to the rocky cliffs of Cape Spear, from Sandy Cove to Squid Tickle, from the steep streets of historic St. John’s to the moss-covered tundra of the southern coast. As he describes the land, he brings to life the island’s diverse array of characters — newcomers and old-timers, fisherman, hunters, hitchhikers, and children. Such a lot of all, The Iambics of Newfoundland shows readers the island itself — an ancient place tucked between provinces, languages, and cultures — struggling to discover a footing within the brand new world.
