Island Pieces is a collection of short prose, poetry, and photography that recalls summers spent on Manitoulin Island. It describes a landscape "where life clings to a skiff of earth that hardly covers the shield rock, and where living things are afterthoughts to stone and water and sky." Each piece in the collection returns to this northern landscape, exploring what the Island has become in the writer's memory over the years.
