Over the course of a career spanning three decades, Lorna Crozier has become one of Canadaś most beloved poets, receiving high acclaim and numerous awards, including the Governor Generalś Award, the Pat Lowther Poetry Award, and the Canadian Authors Association Award. Now, in this definitive selection of poems, which draws on her eight major collections and includes many of the poems for which she is justly celebrated, Crozierś trademark investigations of family, spirituality, loveś fierce attachments, and bereavement and loss have been given a new framework. As a sapphire generates a blue light from within, "The Blue Hour of the Day" demonstrates Crozierś dazzling capacity to bring depths to light, unfailingly and unflinchingly. It represents the best work of an icon of Canadian poetry.
