The Collected Works of Pat Lowther brings together, for the first time, the complete contents of the poetry editions published by Pat Lowther. All currently out-of-print, these works are supplemented by never-before-collected and unpublished works, including the fifteen poems in "Time Capsule," the manuscript Lowther was working on at the time of her death in 1975.

One of most distinctive and ambitious voices of her generation, Pat Lowther has inspired critical discussion and cultural debates that have so far taken place in the absence of any fully reliable edition of her accomplished body of work. The Collected Works of Pat Lowther is the first posthumous edition that is attentive to chronology, allowing readers to gain a sharper sense of Lowther's poetic development over time. Augmented by new audio materials available as a podcast, The Collected Works of Pat Lowther provides a valuable resource for the fans of Lowther and the general poetry reader, as well as for universities, colleges, and high schools.
