 Description:

In this adaptation from Creates’s award-winning video, a series of photographs and a forty-part serial poem of a river’s seasonal changes are observed and recorded by means of 80 named varieties of ice, snow, and winter weather in the Newfoundland dialect. These terms are precise, practical, evocative, sonic, and lyrical.
