Lynn Crosbie (born 1963) is a Canadian poet and novelist.

Life

Crosbie was born in Montreal, Quebec, and now lives in Toronto, Ontario.

Career

She is a cultural critic, and the author of several books of poetry: "Miss Pamela's Mercy", "VillainElle", "Pearl" and a collection of new and selected work, "Queen Rat". "Pearl", was shortlisted for the Pat Lowther Award. Crosbie teaches at the Ontario College of Art and Design and the University of Toronto, and is a columnist for "The Globe and Mail".
