| "This astonishing memoir, beautiful in its prose and terrifying in its honesty, is poet Patrick Lane's account of a year in his life and garden... Possibly the best-written book published in 2004, "There Is a Season" is a masterpiece." - McLean's Magazine "A brave and beautifully written account, the sheer richness and beauty of the language is one of the great pleasures to be found in this book." - The Edmonton Journal Patrick Lane has been called, by many writers and critics "the best poet of his generation." Over the past 45 years, Patrick has authored more than twenty books of poetry, for which he has received most of Canada's top literary awards, including the Governor General's Award, the Canadian Authors Association Award, and two National Magazine Awards. In 2006, he won the prestigious BC Book Award, followed up by the Lieutenant Governor's Award for Literary Excellence in 2007. He has appeared at literary festivals around the world and has published his work in many countries including England, France, the Czech Republic, Italy, China, Chile, and Russia.
