description: The author of three books of poetry published by small presses, Vancouver-born Pat Lowther, who was murdered in September 1975, achieved in A Stone Diary, her last collection, a range and assurance that prompted Robert Fulford to write: 'It was especially sad about her death that she was on the edge of whatever fame and success Canadian poetry has to offer.' A Stone Diary, said Fulford, suggests that she was 'superbly prepared to make this move to a more central place in current Canadian literature. The work in the manuscript is mature, sophisticated, controlled.'
