What the Soul Doesn't Want

by Lorna Crozier

tagged: death, canadian
Description

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.

Annotations

Fine New Collection

A welcome new collection by one of our most accomplished poets. Crozier’s carefully crafted work is distinguished by its humanity and wit. I particularly enjoyed “Cockroach,” a little masterpiece that has scurried across the pages into my heart.
