Publisher Notes

Margaret Atwood's The Journals of Susanna Moodie is one of her most enduring volumes of verse. These poems, set against the Canadian landscape from pioneer days to the 20th century, offer timeless insights into human survival and renewal - in nature and in civilization. Artist Charles Pachter's vivid, original serigraphs illuminate the poems, breathing heat and light into every page. The faithful reproduction of the original 1980 hand-printed, limited edition is introduced with a memoir by Charles Pachter and a foreword by David Staines.

Media Reviews

"Atwood fuses the interior and exterior landscapes (the personal and political) with a low-key yet vibratory elegance. This slip-cased reprint, with deliciously spooky illustrations by Charles Pachter, is a model of printed art--the high-energy jostling of text and imagery creates a lush detonation that obliterates the slightly over-earnest scent that can cling to these poems in starker circumstance."
