THE NORTH GEORGIA GAZETTE AND WINTER CHRONICLE
by William Edward Parry and the crews of the Hecla and Griper
An annotated transcription of the 1821 newspaper, The North Georgia Gazette. The newspaper, written and published aboard an English ship trapped in the Arctic, was an attempt by the captain to lessen the boredom of a long, isolated winter. The result is an incredible existential metaphor, in which a group of people, stranded in the dark, are forced to make their own meaning in order to survive. The Gazette comes at a time of enormous climatic change, and it seeks to point out the importance of the relationships between humans and their surrounding environment. In addition to the entire 1821 newspaper, the book includes excerpts from the Captain's journal, original annotations by transcriber/poet Lily Robert-Foley, an introduction by St. John's (MD) Professor Dr. Michael Comenetz, an essay about optimism and humility by contemporary Arctic expeditionist John Huston and contemporary artwork by artists Deb Sokolow, Daniel Anhorn, Jason Dunda, Rebecca Grady and Nick Butcher.
Printed in an edition of 500 with silkscreen covers by Nick Butcher of Sonnenzimmer. 2009
