Opis

The word allow has roots in the Latin verb laudare, to praise. These poems seek to allow the music of that which is muted in a world of bellowing. In Section I, light plays on the veined ways of vegetation, of poetry, of eros. Section II illuminates states of alienation and longing. The fierce light of Swift burns in Section IV; these poems lament Newfoundland's losses and celebrate its landscape, language, and culture.
