Book Description In the Old Country of My Heart the long awaited first collection by Newfoundland poet Agnes Walsh, covers a wide ranging time span and explores a varied physical and emotional geography. But whether the poems are set in Portugal or the mist covered bays of Newfoundland, her voice is always searching and honest, the poetic lens of her eye sharply in focus. These finely wrought poems are at once vigorous and subtle, penetrating and tender, and marked by an exquisite sense of reverence and wonder. In particular, Walsh shows an exceptional skill in vividly capturing the unique Newfoundland flavour of Character and place. In the Old Country of My Heart takes the reader on a fresh, multifaceted journey through the things that matter. It is an important and welcome new work by one of Newfoundland's most accomplished voices.
