The Smooth Yarrow, Susan Glickman’s sixth collection of poetry, reveals her once again as a truth-teller of the first order. Whether it’s a brilliantly sustained elegy to her late father or a gripping and often disquieting sequence on the art of gardening, Glickman’s new poems are marked by the abiding virtues of her celebrated career: effortless musicality, sparkling mischief, uncompromising insight. Glickman has long been one of Canada’s best poets and The Smooth Yarrow shows her working at the height of her powers.
Reviews
“I fall into Susan Glickman’s books as easily as into conversation with a dear old friend. Her voice just sounds so natural to me and I am endlessly curious to see what she wants to talk about next. You would be hard pressed to find a more natural voice in Canadian poetry and a voice full of such casual authority.” —Michael Dennis
