Description
In this collection, Fiona Steele writes about the journey of coming home — to P.E.I. after moving away and to the Island identity she is rooted in. It is organized in three distinct parts: sandstone, sea, and sky. Sandstone is about the beginning. It’s the foundation of Steele’s life, family relationships, and understanding her sexuality. Sea follows Steele’s journey of embracing her identity as well as her time living on the mainland. And finally, Sky features many nature poems and the acceptance of her spirituality.
