| Jane Ledwell |
Marrying the sensual with the sensuous Jane Ledwell's
luscious first collection heralds a breathtaking new voice in
Canadian poetry. Following in the footsteps of Island
writers such as L.M. Montgomery and Milton Acorn,
Ledwell explores the boundaries of her Prince Edward
Island home, taking the measure of both its fullness and its
limitations.
Describing “language moving through the earth where we
were born,” the poems in Last Tomato trace changes in the
natural world and in human experience, from moons,
menses, and seasons to broad patterns of birth and death,
travel and arrival, and love and loss.
The poems in Last Tomato trace the boundaries of the
poet's Island home to take the measure of fullness and
limitation, stasis and change. Last Tomato explores the
meaning of our lives lived deep into their roots: in
landscape, in community, in family, in love.

| ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ REVIEWS |
| "Jane Ledwell's poetry reveals an old-fashioned love of the land and of the natural world; her love is sometimes touched with pain, as love will be, but is stronger for it. The poems speak of a patience for all that is beautiful and all that is difficult, and of gratitude for both. I am heartened by this book." - Sue Sinclair, author of The Drunken Lovely Bird |
