What the Living Won't Let Go

While far-reaching in their universal truths, the poems in this extraordinary and moving book come together as a compelling narrative. Some of the poems trace the lives – from conception to death – of two families: Crozier’s own family and that of another, shadow family, trapped in a darker, unrelenting world. While more serious than her earlier collections, it still celebrates the joys of living as only she can do, and reminds us of the transcendent resonance of each breath we take.
