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.
