Scene at Crow Gulch, Corner Brook

Crow Gulch, Corner Brook

“My father's family come from Crow Gulch, a now-abandoned community legally ushered off its land by the city of Corner Brook during the late seventies and early eighties.”

Walbourne-Gough's own canlit.ca essay is a self-citation for his book's anchor: he frames the poetry collection as a project to 'write care back into the social history and perceptions' of Crow Gulch.
