Lorna Crozier, winner of a Governor General\u2019s Literary Award for Poetry, will read from her most recent collection of poems, Small Mechanics<\/em>, at York next Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\"The reading will take place Oct. 18, from 1 to 2:30pm,\u00a0in the Founders Senior Common Room, 305 Founders College, Keele campus.<\/p>\n

Right: Lorna Crozier<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Small Mechanics<\/em> (McClelland & Stewart), is billed as a rich and wide-ranging collection, a modern bestiary and a book of mourning, where the poems are both shadowed and illuminated by the passing of time and\u00a0the fine-tuning of what a life becomes when parents and old friends are gone.<\/p>\n

Crozier<\/a> has read her poems on every continent, except Antarctica, and has even recited a poem for Queen Elizabeth II. \"SmallHer books have also won a Canadian Authors\u2019 Association Award for Poetry and two Pat Lowther Awards. She has received two honorary doctorates for her contribution to Canadian literature and her poems have been translated into several languages.<\/p>\n

A memoir, Small Beneath the Sky,<\/em> was published by Greystone Books in 2009. Concurrently, a Spanish translation of her poems, La Perspectiva del Gato<\/em> was published by Trilce Ediciones in Mexico City.<\/p>\n

A Distinguished Professor at the University of Victoria, Crozier has published 24 poetry collections, including The Blue Hour of the Day: Selected Poems<\/em> (McClelland & Stewart, 2007).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
