About
"The third book in a series on Icelandic-Canadian folk literature, Icelandic-Canadian Popular Verse features some 274 verses and poems (originals and translations) that reflect Icelandic immigrant life on the Prairies." "Composed in Canada, these verses and poems convey the thoughts and experiences of Icelandic immigrants (who began arriving in Canada in the early 1870s) and their descendants. Occasional verses have been a part of Icelandic written and oral tradition for centuries. They can be used in any number of ways to express love, philosophy of life, censure, or simply delight in the joys of daily living. As such, these verses are a uniquely revealing source of information about the emotional and intellectual life of Icelandic immigrants in Canada." "In addition, the book includes 20 photographs, an index of loanwords and phrases, and an index to poets' and storytellers' repertoires, as well as biographical information."--Jacket.
