Description
Crow Gulch is a poignant and deeply personal poetry collection by Douglas Walbourne-Gough. This debut work reflects on the legacy of a community that once thrived on the shore of the Bay of Islands, less than two kilometres west of downtown Corner Brook. The story of Crow Gulch begins with its origins as a temporary shack town for migrant workers in the 1920s, during the construction of a pulp and paper mill. Over time, some residents settled there permanently, including Walbourne-Gough's great-grandmother Amelia Campbell and her daughter Ella. The poet explores how this community was marked by both resilience and erasure, as it was forcibly abandoned and largely forgotten. Through lyrical prose and archival memory, Walbourne-Gough brings to life the story of a people and place that have been overlooked in history. This powerful collection is a testament to the enduring legacy of Crow Gulch and its inhabitants, and serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving our collective histories.
