Whetstone

Book Review by: Jennifer MacMillan    

Original Author: Lorna Crozier
A poet relecting the very seasons and surprises of her prairie home of Swift Current, Saskatchewan. She focuses
on the farm families that surrounded her, their struggles to survive the triumph of local hockey players and curlers the sometimes harsh yet beautiful environment.
It is clear why she recieved the Pat Lowther Poetry Award with poems like Drought and Solitude we can feel what its like to scrape the very bottom of the soul for survival.
Crozier currently lives in Victoria with fellow Poet Patrick Lane. She currently works at the University of Victoria writing department.
