	Pat Lowther's Continent: Her Life and Work
		A gifted poet whose work was inspired by her daily life, Pat Lowther came of age at a time when women artists needed a room of their own, yet rarely had their own desk.
		Pat Lowther's Continent: Her Life and Work author Toby Brooks has woven together the many threads of Pat Lowther's life — her poetry, her activism, her children, her marriages, her love of nature, her struggles and her triumphs — into a colourful tapestry that both saddens and warms.
		Toby Brooks is drawn to the poetry of Pat Lowther largely because Lowther was born in 1935 and Brooks in 1936 and they came of age in the same era.
