A posthumous collection of poetry from Patrick Lane, compiled and edited by Lorna Crozier. In this final collection, Patrick Lane cultivates the quiet of living in a body amongst so many other bodies--the trout in the lake, geese arriving with the wind, a raccoon fishing in a river--ultimately revealing a tangled web of life and a speaker who sees both beauty and pain brimming around him. Together, the poems in The Quiet in Me are a clear-eyed and sharp meditation on existing in a world pulsing between life and death, death and life.
