Pat Lowther was a rising star in the Canadian literary scene of the early 1970s. She had published two collections of poetry and her third had been accepted for publication. In September of 1975, Pat Lowther disappeared; her body was discovered three weeks later and her husband was convicted of her murder. Pat Lowther's four children were robbed of their mother, and Canadian literature lost one of its most distinctive voices.The poems in Time Capsule represent Pat Lowther's best work from her published collections plus unpublished work discovered by her daughter.
