New & Selected Poems of Sarah Klassen

In this inaugural volume of the Lyrik Poetry Series, honouring Canada's foremost Mennonite poets, CMU Press presents the finest work, past and present, of Manitoba's wonderful Sarah Klassen, who has been publishing poetry since her award-winning first collection in 1988, Journey to Yalta. In a long and distinguished poetry career, Klassen has explored hope and suffering, language and its limits, movement and stillness--always inviting readers into her care. Including an introduction by editor Nathan Dueck and an afterword by the poet, this volume presents new and uncollected poems as well as a generous selection from Sarah Klassen's eight books of poetry. Full of faith, curiosity, and surprise, these poems offer readers grace and insight at every turn.
