Canopy: Poems by Linda Gregerson

5.0

I'm still too tender to review this. It was breathtaking. Linda Gregerson handles living with the pandemic, our dying planet, historical atrocities, and "small" griefs and declines with such grace and care, balancing them with beauty and hope and resilience. I want to wrap myself up in her words and carry them with me as beacons. "and we / when grief has had its way with us, are / all the more / stubborn in matters of joy." Let us all be stubborn in matters of joy - this is my cry of defiance as I head into the new year.
