THE TASTE OF WATER
Poetry by Frank Ledwell
The taste of water is something we all know but
need to be reminded of once in a while: how it tastes of shared
memory, and of what it means to be human, and of the earth.
Prince Edward Island’s second Poet Laureate,
Frank Ledwell, invites us to enter his words and world, seeking
to share a sense of our common humanity and our interdependent fates,
and to recognize communal experience in the particularities of personal
experience.
The traditional role of the Poet Laureate is to
mark occasions, and Ledwell’s poems masterfully make quotidian
Island events and lives into special occasions that sing with the
“spirit of the spoken word taking hold.”
