In \u003ci\u003eWhile Supplies Last\u003c\/i\u003e, her first collection in eleven years, Lahey throws herself on the mercy of a changing climate, takes refuge in art and revels in everyday wonders. In the final section, about a forest fire that devastated the Cape Breton village of Main-?-dieu in 1976, she becomes a custodian of local histories. No matter the subject, whether traffic reports during the pandemic, a fossilized baby mammoth, or Toronto's iconic Don River, Lahey extends the sense of what language can do and say. This is tour de force writing: mischievous, unpredictable, urgent, never boring. In \u003ci\u003eWhile Supplies Last\u003c\/i\u003e, Lahey comes fully into her own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnita Lahey\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of\u003ci\u003e The Mystery Shopping Cart: Essays on Poetry and Culture\u003c\/i\u003e and two poetry collections: \u003ci\u003eSpinning Side Kick\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOut to Dry in Cape Breton\u003c\/i\u003e.
