  Chris here, the author & narrator. This version of my book is one I hold extremely close to my heart. In fact, it may be my favourite because I’ve always found comfort in sounds. In nature, in music, in silence. 
  This edition, which I call my Immersive Audio Edition, is produced exactly how my soul hears these poems come alive off the page. Narration, music, and sound design flow together to carry you through the seasons of the collection, giving each chapter and poem a sense of movement, connection, and space to breathe. 
  The poems explore dating, family, mental health, first loves, mistakes, self-discovery, and learning to love — others and yourself. This edition is the way I most authentically experience the work, and I’m sharing it with you exactly as I hear it. 
  For anyone who connects with spoken-word, reflective poetry, or immersive storytelling, this edition is the book as I meant it to be heard.

  Poetry. A form of words that seems so elegantly simple in one verse and so cleverly complex in another.  Each poet has a particular style, an individual and unique way with words and yet each of us seems to recognise the path and destination of where the verses lead, even if sometimes the full comprehension may be a little beyond us. 
   
  Through the centuries every culture has produced verse to symbolize and to describe everything from everyday life, natural wonders, the human condition and even in its more hubristic moments, the crushing triumph of an enemy. 
   
  In the volumes of this series we take a look through the prism of individual regions of the United States through the centuries and decades. 
   
  The United States may be many things: the world’s policeman, a bully, a shameless purveyor of mass market culture but it also, in its better moments, a standard bearer for truth, transparency, equality and the more positive qualities of democracy. 
   
  Little wonder that’s its poets are rightly acknowledged as wonders of their art.  Leading lights in the fight against slavery and for equality, even if the rest of the Nation is finding it problematic to catch up.   
   
  In this volume we have collected verse from poets born in Pennsylvania, one of the most famous states of the Union.  Its proud and illustrious history shines out through verse by such illustrious and venerated names as Stephen Vincent Benet, Louisa May Alcott, Wallace Stevens, Hilda Doolittle, Henry Van Dyke, and others as they explore its status, its nature and its role in shaping the world of verse.
