The Garden Going on Without Us

About this book

The Garden Going On Without Us is Lorna Croziers 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.
