Pamela Porter is the author of three collections of poetry and three works for children. Her novel in narrative verse, The Crazy Man, won the 2005 Governor General’s Award, the TD Canadian Children’s Literature Award, the Canadian Library Association Book of the Year for Children Award, and other accolades. Her poetry has been shortlisted four times for the CBC literary awards, including this collection of ghazals. M.
