One of Canada's best-known printmakers, David Blackwood put onto paper an enduring vision of Newfoundland. Born and raised on Bonavista Bay, his hauntingly beautiful images—suffused with struggle and myth— are drawn from childhood memories, dreams, superstitions, legends, and oral traditions.

🦌 HAPPY PUB DAY 🦌

"Absolutely riveting, one of Neilson’s most powerful poetry books to date." — Sue Sinclair, author of Almost Beauty

Tender and wild, slow and animalistic, The Reign is unforgettable - and available now in stores at gooselane.com/TheReign

"The Reign extends and builds on New Brunswick, but the words “extends” and “builds” hardly do justice to a book that is so vitally charged with originality, that is relentless in its inventiveness, unapologetic in its strangeness, and deeply compelling." 😍

thetemzreview.bsky.social @thetemzreview.bsky.social · 16d

Read Aaron Schneider's review of Shane Neilson's The Reign (pub. @gooselane.bsky.social) in Iss. 32!

The Reign is ... restlessly inventive, and as soon as I finished it, I returned to the beginning and read it again for the pleasure of watching the performance

www.thetemzreview.com/schneider-ne...

The cover of The Reign, by Shane Neilson. It looks like a scored and weathered section of brown leather with a large rack of antlers carved into the middle and surrounding the title
