Small Beneath the Sky - by Lorna Crozier (Paperback)

Small Beneath the Sky is a heartwarming memoir that delves into the life of Lorna Crozier, a celebrated poet, as she recounts her childhood growing up in a small prairie city.

With vivid descriptions of her hometown and its people, Crozier paints a picture of a place where hockey players and curlers were the local heroes, but where poverty and alcoholism also held sway.

Through her unflinching portrayal of her family's struggles, Crozier pays tribute to the resilience and love that defined their lives.

Interspersed with narratives of daily life are prose poems evoking the elements, which take on mythical qualities in Crozier's sure hands, imparting ancient knowledge about the prairie grasslands and their effect on those who have put down stakes there.

Rich in detail and generous in spirit, Small Beneath the Sky is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt the power of place and family.
