Selected poems

By Lorna Crozier, Patrick Lane, Alden Nowlan

Alden Nowlan, one of Canada's finest and most influential poets, died in 1983. He leaves a rich legacy of poetry that is accessible yet profound, and that speaks to people's lives with wry observation and keen insight. For Nowlan fans and new readers alike, award-winning poets Lorna Crozier and Patrick Lane help to review and recontextualize Nowlan's place in twentieth-century Canadian poetry. With these selected poems, Lane and Crozier's choices reflect the recurring themes that illuminate Nowlan's work. This new volume is truly the best of Alden Nowlan's poetry, and above all is a tribute to a poet who deserves to be treasured for all time.
