In her newest collection, Lorna Crozier describes the passage of time in the way that only she can. Her arresting, edgy poems about aging and grief are surprising and invigorating: a defiant balm. At the same time, she revels in the quirkiness and whimsy of the natural world: the vision of a fly, the naming of an eggplant, and a woman who - not unhappily - finds that cockroaches are drawn to her. "God draws a life. And then begins to rub it out / with the eraser on his pencil." Lorna Crozier draws a world in The Last Owl, and then beckons us in. Crozier's signature wit and striking imagery are on display as she stretches her wings and reminds us that we haven't yet seen all that she can do. About the Author: Lorna Crozier is the award-winning author of sixteen previous books of poetry, most recently The Wrong Cat. She is also the author of The Book of Marvels: A Compendium of Everyday Thingsand the memoir Small Beneath the Sky. Born in Swift Current, she now lives on Vancouver Island. |
