summary
“Susan Wood brings us this new  collection of her poems and a steadfast intent to write with courage of  history and contemporary American life. She is able—adept, even—to make  things mundane seem complex and worthy of her pen while in due contrast  illuminating things that could be considered justly grand as very human,  tactile, and near. Like Jorie Graham or Geoffery Hill, she is swift and  unapologetic about plunking her reader down in the middle of some  landscape—as if the dear reader had been on holiday there with her all  along—and provides details of her views of this place, making it  familiar at once even if it screams unknown, remote, or exotic.”—Coal Hill Review
