Mortal Remains (Picas Reprint Edition)

One of Canada’s most distinguished writers, Patrick Lane, winner of the Governor General’s Award for poetry, breaks into new territory, sets off new tremors in the psyche in this singular collection. Long know as a diver who went deep into darkness, discovering the “horribly beautiful” – as John Newlove has put it – Lane, in these poems, fascinates us because of the ease inherent in his long, seemingly casual line, a line that contains the pain that comes from confronting truths close to the bone.
