There are many truths in life we know of but fail to acknowledge because they cause too much pain. It is these dark places that Patrick Lane, one of Canada's most important writers, tackles in Mortal Remains. These poems will take readers deep into their own psyches and force them to examine issues close to the bone - if not close to the heart. This book is a must-read for poetry fans unfamiliar with Lane's haunting works.

In this exquisitely written memoir, poet Patrick Lane describes his raw and tender emergence at age sixty from a lifetime of alcohol and drug addiction. He spent the first year of his sobriety close to home, tending his garden, where he cast his mind back over his life, searching for the memories he'd tried to drown in vodka. Lane has gardened for as long as he can remember, and his garden's life has become inseparable from his own. A new bloom on a plant, a skirmish among the birds, the way a tree bends in the wind, and the slow, measured change of seasons invariably bring to his mind an episode from his eventful past. What the Stones Remember is the emerging chronicle of Lane's attempt to face those memories, as well as his new self—to rediscover his life. In this powerful and beautifully written book, Lane offers readers an unflinching and unsentimental account of coming to one's senses in the presence of nature.
