NEW!
The latest collection from award-winning poet Carol Giangrande explores time, grief, rebirth, and recalibration through the lens of the pastoral. In this “birdmind” view of love, loss and belonging, Giangrande captures the uneasy interplay between the human world and the natural world.
As a writer, I’ve always been drawn to opposites. I’m passionate about language — both written and spoken — and I love both the solitude of writing and the public nature of the spoken word. Writing is a contemplative act, a lifelong quest for clarity, beauty and wisdom. Reading and speaking for an audience is one of the joys of my life. My first full-length poetry collection, This May Be The Year will be published by Inanna in 2025
