In The Aging Cheerleader's Alphabet, Lynes has crafted a moving portrait of a woman whose humour and chutzpah challenge a world that sees her as a relic of another age. Part nostalgia, part cultural critique with respect to women's experience of aging, Lynes' Cheerleader does handsprings, walkovers, and roundoffs over the very language that seeks to define her.
Jeanette Lynes is the author of six collections of poetry, including Archive of the Undressed, which was shortlisted for two Saskatchewan Book Awards. Her first novel, The Factory Voice, was longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize. Jeanette directs the M.F.A. in Writing at the University of Saskatchewan.
