The Monarchs

A 60-poem sequence inspired by the migration of the monarch butterfly is given new life in this audio CD, read by the poet herself. Originally released in print, the poems are an extended meditation, exploring the intelligence, strength, and fragility in the natural world. The poet also examines the relationship of humans with nature, considering the differences between instinct and intellect, and natural order versus societal fumbling. While addressing the chaos, the poet also seeks to create harmony, and the result is a collection of poems that are deeply inspired as well as profoundly inspiring.
