In the words of the author: “I am a Newfoundland writer and Face into the Wind is an identifiably Newfoundland collection. I grew up in a storytelling family in a storytelling society. This is how we find meaning and make sense of things in my culture. The narration is infused with the ironic humour and imaginary of the Newfoundland language and cultural idiom and echoes the richness of oral Newfoundland English.”
