A poet of astonishing versatility and skill. –Books in Canada
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.
Praise for Susan Glickman:
"I was gripped by Glickman’s clear voice, and her frankness soon earned my trust. But what wins me is Glickman’s ability to tackle big emotions while confronting ambivalences." —The Globe and Mail
