APSE THE GATE is a collection of essays from Newfoundland transplant and author Shawn Anthony. It offers a glimpse inside a family who experienced the economic exodus of Eastern Canada during the 1970s and 80s. But it also hints at the contrast between perspectives and attitudes that are shaped by different landscapes.
