Lorna Crozier

Transparency of Grief

"...many will already know the work of Lorna Crozier and treasure these new, deep, clear, ponds of love, grief, caring." – Cathy Ford

"These poems deal with various kinds of loss — the loss of childhood, the loss of a loved one, the loss of fertility — yet at the same time, they articulate and clarify those small moments that seem eternal. These poems are occupied by a panoply of lovers, friends and creatures from the natural world."
