Ocean Of Childhood

A powerful and evocative poem about childhood in Newfoundland. William Gough, author of "Maud's House," "David Blackwood:Master Printmaker" and "Chips & Gravey" has returned to print with this book-length biographical poem about the birth and early years of his father. It holds the departed world of Jim Gough & his sister Eileen. It evokes the magic of Newfoundland's 'Shacktown' and the astonishing power of each individual life. Quote:Of The Proper Lover: "Where the poems succeed in linking memory and philosophy, they exceed the limits of personal poetry and acquire a life of their own...." Toronto Star
