Phenomena

<p>In his second published collection poet Lawrence Gregory writes of the phenomena that both intrude upon and grace our lives. Hunger devastation the melting of icebergs our daily engagement with uncertainty and a momentary pandemic. Yet there is sunlight sifting through redwoods falling snow dozens of meadowlarks chanting their morning mantras and best of all the chance to experience this life / at the speed of love. Gregory reminds us that there is no reset / the earth will keep on spinning and with certainty we will encounter the next wave of phenomena.</p>
