Originally published in 1998, Lynn Crosbie brought her unique voice to
the forefront of Canadian poetry with this important collection of
verse. Hers is a world of Shakespeare, skinheads, and centurions; and
hers is a life stripped to the basics and then reconstructed with
relish, every brick scrutinized meticulously.
In Queen Rat her language is urban, but her soul is universal as she
explores that which makes up everything.
Featuring a new introduction by poet and musician Michael Turner.
