Joanna Klink curates poems that blend dream and waking, sparking ordinary life with visionary fire. She shares Jon Anderson wrestling with the desire to walk away (\\u201cIn Autumn\\u201d), Sherwin Bitsui\\u2019s haunting epic of water (\\u201cFlood Song\\u201d), and Linda Gregg\\u2019s dreamscape of life without loneliness (\\u201cAlma to Her Sister\\u201d). Klink closes by reading her poem \\u201cOn Diminishment,\\u201d an intimate, interior landscape of silences and withheld speech.

You can find the full recordings of Anderson, Bitsui, and Gregg reading for the Poetry Center on Voca:
