In 1973 The Fiddlehead accepted a young writer's first magazine submission of thirteen poems and published all thirteen in a single issue. The poet who signed herself E. Blagrave then disappeared from print for thirty years, not to begin writing again until much later in life. Tilt, her first collection, brings together early and late poems, old soul and child-spirit-a voice unlike any other in Canadian poetry, by times haunting in its lyricism, by times terse and worldly-wise. Rooted in dream, song, rune and incantation, threaded with ancient echoes, the poems in Tilt are a window on a world that is intensely personal, strange, yet strangely familiar.
