Small Mechanics
Small Mechanics | Lorna Crozier
2 posts | 1 read
A radiant collection of new poems from one of Canada's most renowned and well-read poets. The poems in Lorna Crozier's rich and wide-ranging new collection, a modern bestiary and a book of mourning, are both shadowed and illuminated by the passing of time, the small mechanics of the body as it ages, the fine-tuning of what a life becomes when parents and old friends are gone. Brilliantly poised between the mythic and the everyday, the anecdotal and the delicately lyrical, these poems contain the wit, irreverence, and startling imagery for which Crozier is justly celebrated. You’ll find Bach and Dostoevsky, a poem that turns into a dog, a religion founded by cats, and wood rats that dance on shingles. These poems turn over the stones of words and find what lies beneath, reminding us why Lorna Crozier is one of Canada’s most well-read and commanding voices. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Almost done #poetrychallenge2018! Only 1 more to go. I enjoyed both of these in very different ways. I learned a lot from the WWI collection, and it was good to read beyond McCrae. Wide range of poems, from the celebratory and patriotic to the personal and devastating. And Lorna Crozier...this is my 2nd time reading her poetry & I find it fascinating how I really love about half of it, and just don't get the other half. Often within the same poem.
