Title: Be With Author: Forrest Gander Narrator: Forrest Gander Format: mp3 Length: 56 mins Release date: 05-04-21 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 5 ratings Genres: Death, Grief & Loss Publisher's Summary: Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes, in the first powerfully elegiac section, a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the US border with Mexico. The poems of the third section - a moving transcription of Gander’s efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer’s - rise like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation.
