Description

Sonnets from the Labrador traces a landscape of the imagination, born out of the harshly beautiful northern reaches of the Labrador Sea, a world of icebergs and whales, shipwrecks and ghosts.

Conceived by award-winning author Samuel Peralta - whose Sonata Vampirica redefined the genre and went to #1 on the Amazon poetry chart - the collection teems with a thematic richness that is at once personal and mythic.

The poems use iconic artist David Blackwood's works as a starting point - intaglio prints, woodcuts and paintings that chronicle the history of Newfoundland, forming a collective memory of the north.

With a new preamble, 'Sea's Edge', and an afterword, 'Flags and Semaphores' - an essay on poetry, art, and inspiration - this special edition of Sonnets from the Labrador fulfills its original vision - rendering its world timeless and unforgettable.
