It has been accepted for inclusion in Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository by an authorized administrator of Scholarship@Western. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Abstract Composer Leslie Uyeda and poet Lorna Crozier inspire, create, and collaborate in real time. Uyeda and Crozier have an exceptional creative collaboration as they have collaborated on 9 song cycles in the past 12 years and the subject matter of much of their art can be seen as cultural reflections and critiques. This is evident in the song cycle The First Woman which speaks of the silencing of women’s voices through the tales of Lilith and Eve in the garden of Eden and the rape of Dinah, Jacob’s daughter. To successfully collaborate on 9 song cycles is a feat in itself, but to also create art that embraces challenging emotions and topics concerning current gender issues is remarkable.

    UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ARCHIVES AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS THE DR JOHN ARCHER LIBRARY 92-23 LORNA CROZIER By SHELLEY SWEENEY DECEMBER 1993 REVISED AUGUST 2009 By ELIZABETH SEITZ 92-23 Lorna Crozier 2 / 9 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Lorna Crozier was born in Swift Current in 1948. She attended the University of Regina, as well as the University of Saskatchewan and Alberta, where she received an M.A. in 1980. After spending several years teaching high school English, Crozier had established herself as a poet well enough to quit her job and devote herself full time to poetry. Over the years she has published numerous books of poetry, edited an anthology of Saskatchewan poetry, published poems in over eleven anthologies, and has had literally dozens and dozens of her poems published in such journals as Border Crossings, Poetry Canada Review, Fireweed, NeWest Review, Descant, Canadian Literature, Grain and so on. Currently, she lives in Victoria with her husband, poet Patrick Lane, and teaches in the Creative Writing Department of the University of Victoria. This is the third collection of papers from Crozier. They are from two very different periods of time in Crozier's life and career. The first set is from her early period of education and writing, from 1971 to 1979. We get a sense of Crozier's interests and the possible influences of her post-secondary education on her early attitudes. We also see the passing of a seminal period in Crozier's life, when she went from teaching high school to begin her life's work writing poetry, and when she met and joined up with Patrick Lane.
