Dark on the Greek hillside. Dark, volcanic, dry and stone. Where the oldest women of the world are standing dressed in black up in the branches of fig trees in the gorge knocking with as much quickness as their weakness will allow.

Linda Gregg, an award-winning poet whose muse followed her in her wanderings from the wilds of Northern California to the rugged hills of Greece, from the Texas desert to a New York homeless shelter, in love and in the absence of it, died March 20 at a hospital in Manhattan. She was 76.Gregg was nearly 40 when her first book of poetry,"Too Bright to See," was published in 1981. She followed it with half a dozen more volumes, attracting praise from poets as distinguished as the late W.

Gregg grew up in Marin County and throughout her life would look to her surroundings for inspiration. Liu described Gregg's style as"measured and austere," giving her lines"a feeling of chiseled marble." Yet her themes were"deeply felt," he continued, imbuing her work with an arresting combination of"classical restraint and then a more Romantic exuberance."

Gregg graduated in 1967 from what is now San Francisco State University, where she also received a master's degree in English in 1972. Her professors there included Gilbert; they were a couple from 1962 to 1970 and remained friends until his death in 2012. Gregg's subsequent marriage to John Brentlinger ended in divorce, and her survivors include her three sisters.
