Allowing the light: Poems (Newfoundland poetry series)

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 bu s in Section IV; these poems lament Newfoundland's losses and celebrate its landscape, language, and culture.Dalton, Mary is the author of 'Allowing the light: Poems (Newfoundland poetry series)', published 1993 under ISBN 9781550810738 and ISBN 1550810731.
