Greg Locke had been away from Newfoundland for years, working as a photojournalist in Canada, the United States, and in many of the worlds most troubled regions, when he decided to go home and stay. The photographs in Newfoundland were taken over a period of more than a decade. They chronicle the passage of Canadas easternmost province from a time when cod were still plentiful and the fishery shaped the lives of most of the islands inhabitants, to the present, when a vibrant economy, propelled by oil and mineral development, is recasting the islands identity in a new mould.What Lockes photographs reveal is at once forwardlooking and nostalgic, beautiful and harsh. Above all, his Newfoundland ispopulated by survivors: a people who are resourceful, funny, resilient, and strong.Poet and novelist Michael Crummey draws upon deepseated memories of his own and of his fathers experience to evoke passing traditions and a disappearing way of life. But, just as Lockes photographs reveal the emergence of a new, more urban and cosmopolitan Newfoundland, so does Crummeys writing emphasize the continuing sense of belonging and the determination to persevere that are characteristic of his compatriots. He writes admiringly of a culture deep enough to accommodate a world of influences without surrendering what makes it unmistakably of this place. Something alive and leaning towards the future. This book embodies both a vision and a voice of rare power.
