Critics Review
Praise for Rove:
Praise for Laurie D. Graham:“Graham grabs you by the hand tugging you into a running pace across prairie time and space in a frenzied barrage of culture, history, memory and detritus.” —Telegraph-Journal“In a manner reminiscent of Jan Zwicky and Robert Kroetsch … [Graham’s poetry] combines meditation with compact sensory impressions… . [Innovative], lyrical, wise, and moving, [her work] considers and details the surface changes of a region in Western Canada, evoking a strong sense of place.” —Gerald Lampert Award jury citation
