BIOGRAPHY
Lorna Crozier was born in 1948 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan. In 1969, she earned her BA from the University of Saskatchewan, and by 1980, had also earned an MA in creative writing from the University of Alberta. She taught English at a Saskatchewan high school while writing poetry, and helped to found The Moose Jaw Movement, a writing workshop for interested writers in the area. She has acted as Writer in Residence and Writer in Electronic Residence at a number of Canadian universities, and in 1991 accepted a position as Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Victoria, where she continues to teach. She has published ten collections of poetry, some of them under her former name, Lorna Uher. She has edited an anthology of prairie poetry, entitled A Sudden Radiance, as well as a volume of work by young poets, entitled A Breathing Fire. Two of her poetry collections published during the eighties were nominated for the Governor General's award: The Garden Going On Without Us (1983) and Angels of Flesh, Angels of Silence (1988); in 1992, Inventing the Hawk won the Governor General's award.
