Patricia Young

Geologic Time

"Patricia Young writes the geology of our relationships with a sexual partner, with children, with the shaded self. She opens us downward into the strata and the chasms and secrets and the buried terrors of love. She is a love poet of the century's end." – Robert Kroetsch
