<p><strong>A posthumous collection of poetry from Patrick Lane, compiled and edited by Lorna Crozier.</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>Together, the poems in <em>The Quiet in Me</em> are a clear-eyed and sharp meditation on existing in a world pulsing between life and death, death and life. When the body is ¿a museum for what¿s gone¿ and a heart is ¿the sound of the wind seething,¿ there is no answer but to learn the language of quiet; the language of an earth unfolding itself perpetually in the dawn: ¿the song of the falling water and wild birds.¿</p><p>With incredible poetic precision, this collection is an offering¿to come back to yourself <em>and</em> to lose yourself in sight, sound and sense.
