Someone traces its roots back to Dreadnaught, publisher of Whale Sound [1978], an all-Canadian illustrated anthology coordinated by Greg Gatenby, about dolphins and whales. Poets include; Margaret Atwood, Bill Bissett, George Bowering, Robert Finch, Irving Layton, Dorothy Livesay with illustrations by Charles Pachter, punk artist Micheal Berman (The Poles) and the icon of Canada’s art world multi media artist Michael Snow – among many others.
Whalesound is gorgeous and now rare. Several pristine copies will be available for purchase at the Someone store.
