Description
Accomplished writer and environmental activist Harry Thurston has compiled an exciting selection of Atlantic Canadian literary works to celebrate the chimera of nature writing.This anthology ranges from the poetic meditation to the factual essay, and includes both authors from the region and those from away, to provide a thoughtful exploration of the influence of the sea and land to literary expression.
The century-old tradition of nature writing in Atlantic Canada. It is one that has been expanded on and redefined by later beloved writers such as Evelyn Richardson, and in the contemporary muses of Gary Saunders and keen journalism of Silver Donald Cameron; who are included in this anthology, as well as many more.
Within such diversity of form and approach, Thurston considers the underlying unity of Atlantic Canadian nature writings. Be it through the expression of personal healing in the natural world, sorrow caused by environmental destruction, or the awe evoked by nature, The Sea's Voice reveals the many ways that we search for identity in our natural environment. A timely reflection, this inspiring anthology provides an artistic, sophisticated medium for authors and readers alike to contemplate the intricacies of our complex relationship to land and sea.
