Northwords

In the summer of 2011, Shelagh plucked five well-known Canadian writers from their urban and suburban homes and brought them to Torngat Mountains National Park in Northern Labrador. Their mission: to soak in the place and then channel it into a piece of writing. Click on the player above to listen to "Northwords", a special episode of The Next Chapter, and hear how Joseph Boyden, Alissa York, Rabindranath Maharaj, Noah Richler, and Sarah Leavitt write the land.
