Ann Elizabeth Carson’s insights are those of a decades-long feminist, a poet and prose writer who once again, in Another Open Door, reminds us of how powerfully nature brings us to our senses and helps us become whole again. It’s also a practical reflection on selfhood in a body that has adapted to the stages of life as a keenly observant and engaged Canadian. Ultimately, this varied collection points the way to what it sounds and looks like when we take charge of our own stories, while celebrating the various webs of relationship that make us aware of place and purpose.
