CANOPY Poems

Linda Gregerson narrates her seventh book of poems, a profoundly thoughtful collection that both states and questions our human existence and interconnectedness with the natural world. She is unapologetic in her mature tone. It is this tone that provides both the wisdom and stillness needed to take in her elegies. She carefully crafts words that are comprehensible and complex simultaneously. Gregerson is calm, as well as timely in her narration. She gravely speaks of the living and the dead intertwining. Within these observations she poses questions like, "What is it you love that has not been ruined because of you?" This comes at the end of her poem that best describes this audiobook experience: "Not So Much an Ending as an Entangling." T.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2022]
