Synopsis
Readers of Alison Watt's beautiful non-fiction work The Last Island already know that her scientist's eye and poet's heart are well joined. Circadia offers poetry that explores some of the same territory - what it means to live embedded in the arrangements of the natural world. The biologist knows that few things are more poetic or awe-inspiring than these arrangements. Through this knowledge Watt finds the truer and deeper metaphors for the biggest puzzle of all: the human condition. With finely crafted language, she gives us an uncommon view - insights refracted through the double lens of the poet's eye and the scientist's heart.

About the Author
Alison Watt lives on Protection Island, in British Columbia. Originally a biologist, her work attempts to release the lyricism of science. Her first book, The Last Island - a Naturalist's Sojourn on Triangle Island, won the Edna Staebler Award (a Canadian award for first or second book of Creative Non-fiction). Her book of poetry, Circadia, came out with Pedlar Press in 2005. Alison Watt is also a visual artist and both books are illustrated with her drawings and paintings.
