Breakwater has the privilege of releasing Mary Dalton's 2020 Pratt Lecture: The Vernacular Strain in Newfoundland Poetry.
This book examines a range of poetry from the latter part of the 20th century, emphasizing the struggle towards a full, unabashed incorporation of Newfoundland English in all its beauty and variety.

Love for our Authors!
“[Claire Wilkshire's The Love Olympics is a] pleasant and humorous collection about love in all forms that follows a set of characters in a community in St. John’s, Newfoundland. I absolutely adored this collection!”

— Bookalong
“[P]eopled with frank, vulnerable, often extraordinary voices … [Rock Paper Sex Volume 2 by Kerri Cull] is another ranging and pointed take, shedding light on a shadowed occupation.”

—Joan Sullivan, The Telegram
“[Amanda Dorothy Jean] Bulman’s casual, yet polished recipe-writing feels refreshing […] In addition to recipes, [Salt Beef Buckets: A Love Story] explores things like rug hooking, berry picking, hunting and fishing. You'll learn how to build a fire for a boil-up, grow seedlings for a garden, or blend herbs and flowers for tea. In fact, you could consider this book an introduction to living and eating well in Newfoundland and Labrador – downhome 'hygge,' if you will.”
—Jonathan Randell Smith, Eating an Island
"[Trudy J.] Morgan-Cole weaves history and fiction in latest Cupids Trilogy installment, [Such Miracles and Mischiefs]."
