This title in other editionseBook editionsWaterborne: Poemsby Linda Gregerson
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Following the critical success of The Woman Who Died in Her Sleep, Linda Gregerson's third volume of poetry, Waterborne, is a stirring, brilliantly crafted collection informed by the common need for water. Fluently rendered in Gregerson's distinctive three-line stanzas, these poems explore subjects from autism to genealogy to ecology. Throughout, Gregerson examines mortality in all its beauty and horror. "Waterborne flows with wonder and reminds us that passionate attention — to language, to the external world itself — is a form of prayer"(Edward Hirsch). Synopsis:A stirring, brilliantly crafted collection, Linda Gregerson's third volume of poetry examines mortality in all its beauty and horror. Fluently rendered in Gregerson's distinctive three-line stanzas, these poems explore subjects from autism to genealogy to ecology. Their occasions are diverse — a barn fire, a wounded deer, a child's determined struggle with a bicycle — but their instinct is always to wrest from the impure world a vernacular of praise.
