Synopsis

Death at Quebec by Don Gutteridge is a book of poetry published by Wet Ink Books of Canada. Gutteridge focuses his poetic skills on famous explorers, political leaders, visionaries, saints, and rebels in this collection for budding historians and poetry lovers alike. Alternating in style from short, hard-hitting verses ("Champlain") to longer pieces that read like confessional vignettes ("Death at Quebec"), the poems do not follow a strict narrative pattern as they explore pain, death, human spirit of adventure and exploration, freedom, oppression, martyrdom, courage, transformation, and resilience of humanity in the face of utmost difficulties. At times, though the enticing verses beg for more historical context to add further perspective; readers will benefit from reading about all the historical figures mentioned to gain a better perspective about their lives (with the exception of the last poem. This haunting collection will stay in readers' minds long after they have finished the book. Meticulously crafted, intense, and haunting... A marvelous collection.
