A stone for Andrew Dunphy : narrative obituary verse and song in northern Cape Breton Island / Ronald Caplan. by Caplan, Ronald, 1942- Breton Books, 2018. Call #: 819.4 C244s Subjects Dunphy, Andrew, 1865-1925.   Canadian poetry -- Nova Scotia -- Cape Breton Island.   Elegiac poetry.   Cape Breton Island (N.S.) -- In literature. ISBN:  9781926908595 (softcover) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  145 p. : ill. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  "A Stone for Andrew Dunphy brings to life Andrew Dunphy (1865-1925), a man who roamed northern Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia-who carried the news, nursed his neighbours, and wrote magnificent narrative obituary poems that his community turned into songs. In the face of crisis, Dunphy told their stories, comforted them in disaster, and strengthened community bonds. Over one hundred years later, Ronald Caplan captured Dunphy's story through interviews with singer Helen Curtis, esteemed fiddler Winston "Scotty" Fitzgerald, historian and storyteller Bob Fitzgerald, and Dunphy's close friend George Rambeau. Displaying the robust life that flourished in northern Cape Breton as the 20th century dawned, this book portrays the respect Dunphy's neighbours felt for their poet, and offers insight into community traditions that continue to sustain this challenging island."--From publisher.
