A dark, fantastical collection of narrative poems that draw on unique elements of Newfoundland and Labrador culture and folklore.

Intended to be read aloud, Where the Crooked Lighthouse Shines draws on Newfoundland and Labrador's long tradition of lyric storytelling, making whimsical use of rhyme and rhythm.

Young readers will enjoy the humour in the verse while seeing how problems (even the dark and scary ones) can be resolved without losing one's sense of playfulness and wonder.
