With a keen eye, Lynn DeTurk gathers Newfoundland to herself-its berry-rich barrens, its rocky shores, its unrelenting weather, its remarkable history, its generous people. In a Rugged Land invites readers to explore with her as DeTurk charts her deepening love for her part-time home. ese carefully honed poems are acts of joyful discovery, of welcoming, of homecoming. -Marnie Parsons
