About this title

Synopsis

The Garden Going On Without Us is Lorna Crozier's sixth collection of poems, and is a book of rare virtuosity. Her poetry is sensual, pragmatic, linked to the women and men about her – people who live rather than simply name their lives. She often writes about the Prairies – a vast land that bleaches human and animal bones alike, but one that contains gardens in which people and plants are cultivated, and houses which are places of love-making, warmth, and rage. Her keen ironic tone is balanced by a certain romanticism. As a lyric poet, she has a wide range of tone and style.

About the Author

Lorna Crozier’s work has garnered numerous awards, including the Governor General’s Award, the Pat Lowther Poetry Award, the Canadian Authors Association Award, and the First Prize for Poetry in the CBC Literary Competition. She has published twelve books of poetry, including The Garden Going On Without Us; Inventing the Hawk; Everything Arrives at the Light; A Saving Grace: The Collected Poems of Mrs. Bentley, a collection inspired by Sinclair Ross’s beloved classic As for Me and My House; What the Living Won’t Let Go, winner of the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize; and, most recently, Apocrypha of Light. Crozier also edited Desire in Seven Voices and, with Patrick Lane, Addicted: Notes from the Belly of the Beast. Lorna Crozier was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, and now lives in British Columbia, where she teaches at the University of Victoria.
