  12. "Finch's Complaint/Giant: reprise"
    • A recitation in the old tradition, to be learned by ear and not from the printed(or written) page. The event is very nearly fact, and is included to perhaps illustrate that the maritimes cannot always be thought of in terms of eating blueberry pie and drinking black rum. My thanks to Canadian Poet Bill Howell, whose poems gave me the language in which to try one of my own.
    • Concertina: The Masked Luthier (Grit Laskin)
