Description
Working from a vantage point close to her audience, Trainer makes memorable the drama of everyday events, allowing the lives of obscure people to shine forth with simple eloquence.
About the author
Born at Medicine Hat, Alberta, in 1959, Yvonne Trainer has become one of Canada's most distinctive young poets. A brilliant reader, she has presented her work to many appreciative audiences in the Prairies and Atlantic Canada, while her poems have appeared in a number of leading literary magazines in both Canada and the U.S.A. CBC Anthology broadcast a group of six poems in 1980, when she was still an undergraduate at the University of Lethbridge, editing Whetstone and putting out her chapbook, Manyberries, also in 1980, before moving on to the University of New Brunswick, where she received the M.A. degree in English and Creative Writing.
Editorial Reviews
"Everything Happens At Once is a worthy successor to Yvonne Trainer's first book, Customers. Trainer . . . is such a memorable performer of her work that it is difficult to read these poems without hearing that strong, very human, slightly haunting voice." — G.P. Greenwood, Calgary Herald
