<p>\u201cThe sustained focus and lyrical engagement of Peter Cunningham\u2019s work has been most profound in his bearing witness to \u2018The Rock\u2019 and its people \u2014 fishermen, clamdiggers, dulse pickers, worshippers, toddlers, centenarians, shipbuilders and ship wreckers, quilters, and bakers.\u201d \u2014 Alison Hawthorne Deming <\/p><p>Nestled in the sparkling waters of the Bay of Fundy, Grand Manan Island is a haven of natural beauty, accessible only by ferry, boat, and airplane. For more than a century, visitors have spent the summer months on the Island. Year round, it\u2019s home to a network of communities and a thriving fishery. <\/p><p>Peter Cunningham first came to Grand Manan as a child, accompanying his father, who was studying the fog on nearby Kent Island. As a child, he observed how traditional methods of fishing were already changing with the advent of new technologies like fathometers and radar. <\/p><p>Today, the pace of change has quickened. <i>Disappearing Before Our Eyes<\/i> chronicles contemporary island life on Grand Manan, from the fishing industry impacted by new technology, uncertain market conditions, and climate change, to the stories of island residents \u2014 the memories of older generations and the hopes of the young. As Cunningham writes, \u201cI\u2019ve been privileged to have lived my life in community with six generations of Grand Mananers. In this book I\u2019m honouring what is disappearing, but also a place teeming with human life and unpredictable promise.\u201d <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
