Fugitive Colours

Liz Lochhead’s new collection encompasses a life enriched with people, places and relationships; it is with humor and empathy that these relationships are captured, remembered and honored in moments of joy and poignancy. There is sadness, truth, hope and optimism throughout the five sections in this collection, each is varied in scope but are woven together as part of a life. This stunning new collection marks the end of Liz Lochhead’s term as Makar (Poet Laureate, 2011–2016) and features never before published work alongside poems written during her time as Makar.
