Despite an impressive post-secondary education and a body of work that spans more than twenty books and seven decades, Elizabeth Brewster’s quiet humility in the face of “all that tradition” of the western literary canon belies her contribution to the nation’s cultural history. Perhaps fittingly, her poems demonstrate a sense of isolation, a quest for selfhood, a desire to understand and to be understood. Often conversational in tone, the directness in her poems is supported by a deliberate economy of language and freedom from the restrictions of traditional form.
