THE GREY ISLANDS

Poet John Steffler crafted this novel from a series of narrative poems that related his experiences in Newfoundland. The work is delivered by the author, along with a selection of expert narrators including Frank Holden, Janis Spence, and Darryl Hopkins. The readings are precise and captivating, each offering a slightly different perspective on Steffler's work. The mix of narration mingles nicely with background sounds such as seagulls' caws along the coastline and the endless clattering of cup and saucer in a roadside diner. These help to set the time and place and create a memorable experience for listeners. L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 08]
