Product Description
From Amazon.com
The poetic/artistic exploration of what it means to find yourself thrown into a hostile environment, these poems by Margaret Atwood and silk-screen illustrations by Charles Pachter are based on the journals of Canadian pioneer Susanna Moodie. The setting allows Atwood to write cutting lines about the fundamental tensions in creating and defining a self. One such tension, the assertion of will on the world as well as on one's self, set against the spirit-crushing tribulations of loneliness and hopelessness, is especially electric. The Journals of Susanna Moodie is a beautiful and hypnotic book.

First Sentence
Is it my clothes, my way of walking, the things I carry in my hand -a book, a bag with knitting- the incongruous pink of my shawl this space cannot hear or is it my own lack of conviction which makes these vistas of desolation, long hills, the swamps, the barren sand, the glare of the sun on the bone-white driftlogs, omens of winter, the moon alien in daytime a thin refusal The others leap, shout Freedom!
