Night Lunch is a shapeshifting sonnet sequence set in the cold waters off the North Coast of Labrador. Reflecting Chaulk's own experience, the speaker ? a young deckhand on a freight and passenger ferry servicing isolated communities ? endures long irregular work hours, weather, icebergs and loneliness, all the while navigating the taut intersections of race, labour, class, addiction and masculinity. That Chaulk has Inuit family in and from Labrador makes this debut poetic journey a cultural coming-home for the young deckhand, as chronicled in supple, powerful verse. | Night Lunch by Mike Chaulk, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
