Produktbeschreibung
Ever since the CBC Anthology programme featured Yvonne Trainer's "Manyberries" poems while she was still an undergraduate, her work has attracted readers and listeners to a new and distinctive voice. The interests of these poems are intensely human: the observations acute; the language deceptively simple, forged from common speech. Trainer is close to her audience -- a wonderful performer of her work -- and makes memorable the drama of everyday events, a poetry of confirmation, of shared surprise and wonder. Drawing from her roots in Alberta prairie life, she is also a directly autobiographical poet, capable of rendering places and people with special attention, often from the wise perspective of a child. In Landscape Turned Sideways poems from Trainer's three previously published collections are brought together with recent work, offering readers a representative volume of her first decade as a published poet.
Autorenporträt
Born at Medicine Hat, Alberta, in 1959, Yvonne Trainer has become one of Canada's most distinctive young poets. A brilliant reader, she has presented her work to many appreciative audiences in the Prairies and Atlantic Canada, while her poems have appeared in a number of leading literary magazines in both Canada and the US. CBC Anthology broadcast a group of six poems in 1980, when she was still an undergraduate at the University of Lethbridge, editing Whetstone. She put out her chapbook, Manyberries, also in 1980, before moving on to the University of New Brunswick, where she received the MA degree in English and creative writing.
