<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Set against the backdrop of a post-moratorium St. John's, Newfoundland, The Debt explores tensions between tradition and innovation, and between past and present in a province unmoored by loss and grief. The Debt is about development and change, idleness and activism, ecological stewardship, feminism, motherhood, the personal and the political. It is also about resistance--against the encroaching forces of greed and capitalism, even against the accumulated notions of the self. The poems are an argument for community and connection in an age increasingly associated with isolation of the individual. The Debt explores the dues we all owe: to nature, to those who came before us, and to one another."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In the tradition of Williams' <em>Paterson</em>, <em>The Debt</em> explores tensions between tradition and innovation, present and past, in St. John's, Newfoundland.
