The Listening World
by Kathy Garlick
with an introduction by
Adam Zagajewski
Praise for The Listening World:
Kathy
Garlick’s poems send me to the deepest levels of being
alive—as if they are written in the nearly subliminal voices
of the trees, the pond, the cricket, the grass. I have become
quieter in order to hear them—and then I hear the voice
of this poet among the others, talking in the way we used to
talk in the beginning of the world |

These poems sometimes seem simple, and foreign
as haiku are foreign, or koans, or Chekhov—foreign, yet
closer to you than your own breath. I am profoundly grateful
for them
