Description
Some bones and a story is Alice Major's sixth book of poetry, in which she looks at the lives of some of her favourite female saints. The poet's point of view is decidedly contemporary while at the same time she manages to give these poems a medieval flavour through her use of language and imagery.
About the author
Alice Major emigrated from Scotland at the age of eight, and grew up in Toronto before coming west to work as a weekly newspaper reporter. She served as the City of Edmonton’s first poet laureate from 2005–2007. Among her previous books are Memory's Daughter, for which she won the Stephan G. Stephansson Award in 2011; The Occupied World; and The Office Tower Tales, for which she won the Pat Lowther Award in 2009. In 2010, she received a lifetime achievement award, presented by the City of Edmonton and the Professional Arts Coalition of Edmonton.
