Books by Diann Blakely

Originally published in 1992, this is Diann Blakely's first volume of poetry. With this collection, Blakely artfully mines the empathic centre of each poem, fearlessly crafting an achingly personal portrait of contemporary life and family that is both sweet and razor sharp.

Paying homage to the hardboiled crime-noir writing of Raymond Chandler, Diann Blakely's second collection of poetry plays on the dark desires and lusty appetites that motivate and move us. Originally published in 2000, Farewell, My Lovelies delivers unflinching truths harnessed in musical eloquence.
