About the author
Amelia Curran is a singer-songwriter from st. John’s, Newfoundland. After independently releasing her first album, War Brides, in 2006, she was signed to Six Shooter Records. Each of her next three albums were nominated for Juno awards, and Hunter Hunter won the Juno award for Roots and Traditional Solo Album of the Year in 2010. Her highly anticipated fifth album, Watershed, is now available from Six Shooter.
Editorial Reviews
“One can agree with Curran up to a point when she says, ‘Lyrics must have music to communicate. Poems must have a page.’ Yet as someone who reads roughly a hundred new books of poetry every year and who has ingested much moribund verse in the name of historical scholarship, I can say without exaggeration that Curran’s lyrics on the page are as successful as 75 percent of all that stuff in print.”
