A long-awaited yet startlingly urgent new collection from "a contemporary master"*—a fierce, big-hearted eye on our last, tumultuous decade, and our fragile environment *Los Angeles Review of Books
Linda Gregerson's long-awaited new collection is a tour de force, a compendium of lives touched by the radical fragility of the planet and, ultimately, the endless astonishment and paradox of being human within the larger ecosystem, "in a world where every breath I take is luck."
From the Syrian refugee and ecological crises, to police brutality and COVID, to the Global Seed Vault buried under permafrost, the poems ask: How does consciousness relate to the individual body, the individual to the communal, the community to our environment? How do we mourn a loved one, and how do we mourn strangers?
The magnificent poems in Canopy catalogue and reckon with humanity and the natural world, mortality, rage, love, grief, and survival.

      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
