How do we mourn a loved one, and how do we mourn strangers?\nThe magnificent poems in Canopy catalogue and reckon with humanity and the natural world, mortality, rage, love, grief, and survival.\n\nHow does a poet reckon with a world in crisis?\n\nPoems About Grief and Loss: Navigating the space between mourning a loved one and mourning strangers, these poems ask how we can carry sorrow in a world of constant crisis. Environmental Poetry: From the Global Seed Vault buried in permafrost to the larger ecosystem, this collection confronts the radical fragility of our planet with a clear, unflinching eye. Poems About Social Justice: Bearing witness to police brutality, the refugee crisis, and the pandemic, Gregerson catalogues the human cost of a tumultuous decade. Lyrical and Literary Voice: A collection that confirms why Linda Gregerson is called \"a contemporary master,\" where every line is a reminder that \"every breath I take is luck.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0358622255\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0358622255.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Gregerson, Linda\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
