Since the 1980s, Lorna Crozier, from Saskatchewan and British Columbia, has been one of Canada’s most popular and influential poets. An Officer of the Order of Canada and Professor Emeritus of Creative Writing at the University of Victoria, Crozier is cherished for her poems about the natural environment, women’s lives, human relationships, and the interplay among nature, human history and myth, and spiritual elements infusing existence and experience. Her poetry is also celebrated for her delightfully subversive wit, for example, “The Sex Life of Vegetables,” and her deep commitment to social justice.

Crozier’s reading is sponsored by the UPEI Faculty of Arts and Department of English. Admission is free.
