Synopsis

This is a book of poems and stories about growing up in rural Prince Edward Island (PEI). Norman Kenneth MacNeill comes from a family steeped in the culture and history of PEI. His poetry covers birth and death and growing up poor. Some of his stories will make you laugh out loud, and some will bring you to tears. This is a book for lovers of poetry and history and country living. You will be surprised by Norman’s quirky humor, his deep appreciation of all things beautiful, and the depth of his emotional reality. Norman's stories are enhanced by his collection of vintage black and white photographs. Here is a sample...
Our Lives
Our lives were sewn together with that of our neighbours
in rural communities on Prince Edward Island.
Like it or not, we were like a morning glory vine
growing round and round a clump of blackberry canes.
Sometimes the thorns hurt, sometimes they didn't.
In times for short periods, it felt warm and fuzzy,
but mostly it felt like trying to tap dance with a bunch
of burdocks shoved up your ass.
