Une route bordée de soie, de 12000 km de long, fait rêver depuis des siècles l'Orient et l'Occident. Une route qui traverse ici, la Chine, le Kirghizistan, l'Ouzbékistan, l'Afghanistan, l'Irak, la Turquie et la Grèce. Elle chemine aux sommets de montagnes ardues, de steppes de velours, de villes enchanteresses. Le vent murmure au voyageur des récits âpres et sauvages, où ces peuples d'Asie centrale vivent en symbiose et en lutte perpétuelle avec une nature aussi grandiose que cruelle.

In 2010, Catherine Owen's 29-year-old spouse died of a drug addiction. A year later, she relocated to an apartment by the Fraser River in Vancouver, BC. As she moved beyond the initial shock, the river became her focus: a natural, damaged space that both intensifies emotion and symbolizes healing. In a sequence of aubades, or dawn poems, Owen records the practice of walking by or watching the river every morning, a routine that helps her engage in the tough work of mourning.

Why a poetry album? Easy answer: I love poetry. I love reading it. I love memorizing it. I love hearing great actors recite it. As the poet Mark Strand wrote, “Ink runs from the corners of my mouth / There is no happiness like mine / I have been eating poetry.” In the past, when I was full from eating, I have had the audacity to set poetry to music. But, on this audiobook, you will hear the music of the poems.

Seamus Heaney had the idea to form a personal selection from across the entire arc of his poetry, small yet comprehensive enough to serve as an introduction for all comers. He never managed to do this in his lifetime, and no edition exists which has such a broad range, drawing from first collection to last.
