Online. Listen, a way to read more. rattlingbooks.com NEW FROM CANADA'S POET LAUREATE JOHN STEFFLER comes the audio edition of his classic The Grey Islands A modern classic of Canadian poetry, The Grey Islands is one man's meditation on the interplay between nature and human society in the rugged setting of coastal Newfoundland. The boats and houses of those who tried to live on the Grey Islands have disappeared, but their stories survive in the neighboring settlements - stories of treks on the sea ice, of near-starvation, of hunting ducks at night with muskets loaded with everything from nails to the parts of a gold pocket watch. This is a book of such excellence that someone in future is liable to say about the author: "Steffler - Steffler? - oh yes, he wrote The Grey Islands, didn't he?" - Al Purdy, Books in Canada The Grey Islands is a piece of genius, a psychological drama in poetry and prose... - Andrew Brooks, Canadian Literature these birds by John Steffler from The Grey Islands these birds again. skimming the water gullies all their lives dodging the grabbing waves until they can't. and that's okay. slipping into the only thing they ever looked at the thing they were only ever an inch above.
