Vioar Hreinsson's masterful biography of Icelandic-Canadian poet Stephan G. Stephansson (1853-1927) traces his remarkable life from Iceland to the United States to Canada. Among the greatest poets in Icelandic history, he produced five volumes of poems in his lifetime. A progressive farmer, philosopher, and avid pacifist, he was an outspoken controversial leader in the Icelandic immigrant community in North Dakota and, later, Alberta, where he produced the bulk of his life's work.
