Before the first word

The Poetry of Lorna Crozier

What the Snake Brings to the World by Lorna Crozier

Without the snake

there’d be no letter S

No forked tongue and toil,

no pain and no sin. No wonder

the snake’s without shoulders.

What could bear such a weight!

The snake’s responsible for everything

that slides and hisses, that moves

without feet or legs. The wind for example.

The sea in its long sweeps to shore and out again.

The snake has done some good, then.

Even sin to the ordinary man

brings its pleasures. And without

the letter S traced belly-wise

outside the gates of Eden

we’d have to live

with the singular of everything:

sparrow, ear, heartbeat,

mercy, truth.

Acknowledgements

Lorna Crozier’s radical imagination, and the finely tuned emotional intelligence that is revealed in the clarity of her poetry, have made her one of Canada’s most popular poets. Before the First Word: The Poetry of Lorna Crozier is a collection of thirty-five of her best poems, selected and introduced by Catherine Hunter, and includes an afterword by Crozier herself. Representing her work from 1985 to 2002, the collection reveals the wide range of Lorna Crozier’s voice in its most lyrical, contemplative, ironic, and witty moments. Hunter’s introduction discusses the poet’s major themes, with particular attention to her feminist approach to biblical myth and her fascination with absence and silence as sites for imaginative revision. Crozier’s afterword, “See How Many Ends This Stick Has: A Reflection on Poetry,” is a lyrical meditation that provides an inspirational glimpse into the philosophy of a writer who prizes the intensity of awareness that poetry demands, and is tantalized by what predates speaking and all that cant be named. An engaging volume that will appeal to undergraduate students as well as general readers of poetry.

Lorna Crozier’s work has won many awards, including the Governor Generals Award in 1992 (for Inventing the Hawk), the first prize for poetry in the CBC Literary Competition, the Canadian Authors Association Award for Poetry in 1992, a National Magazine Award in 1995, and two Pat Lowther Memorial Awards (1993 and 1996) for the best book of poetry by a Canadian woman. She has published fourteen books of poetry, most recently, Whetstone. Born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, she now lives in British Columbia, where she is a Distinguished Professor at the University of Victoria.

«Before the First Word is a part of a new series of texts from Wilfrid Laurier University Press that strive to bring Canadian poets to a larger audience. Without pretence and with an eye to producing the effect of improvisation, these collections come selected and introduced by a critic with an afterword from the poet represented. This project is one of the most exciting, cooperative, communal and familial endeavours that I have seen coming out of the poetry establishment in the past few years and all of my praise goes out to Wilfrid Laurier Press for their efforts. »

— Jason Ranon Uri Rotstein, PoetryReviews, May 19, 2007

«There’s a lot of different material pulled together between two covers. It should give readers a good bird’s-eye view of a writer’s life and work. I think it’s a great idea. »

— Lorna Crozier about the Laurier Poetry series,

«In a sense, it is a Best of Lorna Crozier. … These editions stand out by providing a thorough introduction to the work (written here by another poet) and an afterword by the poet herself. The intention is good, and this book itself is admirable. … Hunter’s selections are excellent, ranging from Crozier’s amusing and racy vegetable poems through her moving poems about love and family and on to her recent revisions of Old Testament stories. … I particularly like Crozier’s own closing essay, a valuable discussion of the mysteries and gaps that mark the poet’s trade. …Crozier honours the simple but profound task of attention that both writing and reading poetry demands, and is unafraid to call it a kind of `devotion. ‘ The Erica Grimm Vance painting on the cover, Growing Fiery Wings, is an entirely appropriate choice for this volume. It features a woman both earthbound and ethereal, struggling to perform some feat that will undoubtedly be powerful. »

— Sue Sorensen, Prairie Fire

«The quest for a wider audience for poetry may be quixotic, but this series makes a serious attempt to present attractive, affordable selections that speak to contemporary interests and topics that might engage a younger generation of readers. Yet it does not condescend, preferring to provide substantial and sophisticated poets to these new readers. At the very least, these slim volumes will make very useful introductory teaching texts in post-secondary classrooms because they whet the appetite without overwhelming. »

— Paul Milton, Canadian Literature, 193, Summer 2007

Speech and Language: Volume 4, Advances in Basic Research and Practice is a collection of papers that deals with the theories, clinical issues, and pathology of language and speech. Several papers discuss nonlinguistic and linguistic processing in children, phonological development in infants, and the development of speech fluency in children. Other papers examine the four major speech production models, the physiological and acoustical aspects of speech adaptation, spatial-temporal model of velopharyngeal function, and variations in the supraglottal air pressure waveform. One paper notes the relationships of two systems of development as follows: language development is dependent upon cognitive products and cognitive development is dependent upon language development. Such relationship leads to the hypotheses that language and cognitive developments are independent, are interdependent, and are both dependent upon some X abilities. One paper suggests that speech clinicians should have as a goal the achievement of speech that is as normal as possible in all respects, and not just for patients to sound normal. The collection will benefit linguists, ethnologists, psychologists, speech therapists, neurologists, neuropsychologists, neurolinguists, or speech pathologists.

«To become aware of the Logos is to become aware of the Logos in oneself…. The world speaks. Before all else, it utters speaking itself. Or does speaking utter the world.» So begin the first two chapters of this inspired, existential meditation on the contemporary meaning of the message of St. John: «In the beginning was the Word.» Through this Word—Logos—all things became. In it was life, the light of human beings. It shown I the darkness, and the darkness received it not. It was in the world, and the world did not know it. It entered individual being, and, to those who received it, it gave the ability to become the children of God. Its radiance was seen, full of grace and truth. The fruit of many years of study and meditation, Becoming Aware of the Logos places the reader in the world of living thinking and cognitive love. It teaches the way of grace and truth in a radical, original manner. For the Logos, although it is the ground of any true logic, is beyond ordinary dialectic. The author does not approach his subject conventionally, but penetrates and communicates it by unfolding central themes such as: the Logos in the beginning; the light in the darkness; the speaker; life; spirit; grace; and truth.

И, как я понимаю, он уже отправил сенатору весточку, что не расположен давать показания перед комитетом и отвечать на ложные, на данный момент, обвинения.

Well, Mark, before you say a word, I can’t go through with it.

Марк, чтобы ты ни говорил, я не могу этого выносить.

I worked in the secretarial pool before God chose me to take down the Word.

Я работал в канцелярии прежде, чем Бог избрал меня, чтобы записать Слово

Another, a big boy four years of age, seated with legs dangling, upon a bench that was too high for him, before a table that reached to his chin, and uttering not a word.

Другой, четырехлетний карапуз, молча сидел на высокой скамье, свесив ножки под стол, доходивший ему до подбородка.

No one stirred in the farmhouse before noon on the following day. And the word went round that from somewhere or other the pigs had acquired the money to buy themselves another case of whisky.

До полудня следующего дня никто не показывался во дворе фермы, и ходили упорные слухи, что свиньи откуда — то раздобыли деньги, на которые было куплено виски.

Although my case can be generalised, perhaps it would be clearer if I describe a specific example.

I need to print a digit as a subscript, immediately to the left of the first line of each paragraph, but without disturbing its first line indentation.

The digit has to have the same spacing to the first letter as the default spacing of a footnote digit.

I have been trying to define a new command, but I am unable to keep the following text unaltered.

The following MWE shows what I mean:

documentclass[12pt]{book}
usepackage{fixltx2e}

newcommandparnumber[1]{hspace{-5pt}{footnotesize}textsubscript{#1}kern -2ptnormalsize}

begin{document}

I should like, before proceeding further, to tell you how I feel...

parnumber{1} I should like, before proceeding further, to tell you how I feel about the State which we have described. I might compare myself to a person who, on beholding beautiful animals either created by the painter's art, or, better still, alive but at rest, is seized with a desire of seeing them in motion or engaged in some struggle or conflict to which their forms appear suited; this is my feeling about the State which we have been describing. 

parnumber{2} And we too, Socrates, as Timaeus says, will not be wanting in enthusiasm; and there is no excuse for not complying with your request.

end{document}

The very first line shows how the paragraph should be indented. The second line shows how its indentation is affected by the parnumber command.

I am aware that the command definition is primitive at best.

How can it be refined to print the digit immediately before the first word of paragraph, without altering its first line indentation?

I thought of using a floating box, but I can’t make it work precisely.
