Newfoundlanders read

The Shipping News
by E. Annie Proulx


This page introduces pages that provide original stories, poems, and art in response to The Shipping News.

Reilly Fitzgerald has written a short story called "Waves." He has also shared some of his original paintings and photographs. The slow loading of the page is worth it!

Jaime has created an issue of The Gammy Bird! So has Dana. And Jennifer Rowe has used events and characters from the novel to create her edition of a newspaper.

Wanda has critiqued and commented upon the novel in a poem and top 10 reasons....

Dana has added a prose work and an illustration that portrays his Newfoundland.

Daina has contributed a moving poem and personal narrative about living and dying by the sea.

Wendy also has written a personal narrative about a community tragedy.

Kelli-ann shares a series of anecdotes, her personal experiences as a Newfoundlander.

And Tom shares his story as an 'outsider' making his way to and in Newfoundland.

And in a very original piece, he compares characters to the novel to the ingredients in a Jiggs dinner--a very Newfoundland dish.
