Welcome to Litsy!

Angels of Flesh, Angels of Silence, Lorna Crozier�s seventh book of poetry, reinforces her stature as one of the most prolific and respected contemporary poets of our time. Her poems are witty, unassuming, yet intimate and provocative. Through her extraordinary vision, Crozier writes into existence a world that is both distinctively her own and instinctively familiar to all her readers. These are poems of mourning and celebration, of poignancy and good humour. And they demonstrate why Lorna Crozier�s work lays claim on both the head and the heart. The poems in the section �Angles of Silence� won first prize for poetry in the CBC Radio Literature Competition for 1987-88, and were broadcast on �State of the Arts.� The Chilean poems were aired on �State of the Arts� as part of a radio script written with Pat Lane, which won the Best Program Award at the National Radio Awards, 1988. �Fear of Snakes� won second prize inPrism International�s poetry competition.
