Can’t wait for April!

10 Feb 2019 / 0 Comments / in Uncategorized/by Susan Glickman

When my seventh book of poetry is coming out from Signal Editions of Véhicule Press. Here’s what the press has to say about it in their catalogue:

What We Carry

Susan Glickman

What We Carry is a profound exploration of the weight of human history at three levels: the individual, the cultural, and environmental. From her brilliant “Extinction Sonnets”—odes to various disappearing species—to a spirited examination of everyday salutations, Susan Glickman’s range astonishes: ice storms, sugar maples, early love on the Orient Express, an archaeological dig at Mycenae. Serious but not solemn, full of linguistic and imagistic playfulness, the collection is anchored by poetic translations of Chopin’s 24 Preludes, opus 28—his most experimental and characteristic compositions. The intimacy of Chopin’s project has inspired sound-rich poems that, once again, prove Glickman’s gift for capturing the frailty of human connections in a damaged world. “First light and the last, / first love and the last.”

Carole Giangrande‘s review

May 30, 2018
 5 stars – it was amazing
What a moving book – I couldn’t put it down. The sisters’ contrasting voices work so well – one of them in the journal of Sophie, a wry and engaging twelve-year-old and the other her older sister Libby – ill with cerebral palsy, yet writing a poetic novel (The Discovery of Flight) as a gift for Sophie about a girl who communicates telepathically with a red-tailed hawk. The soaring bird seems to embody the spirit of Libby, so locked in herself, yet as deeply connected to her sister Sophie as her fictional creation is to the hawk. This is a young adult novel, yet older adults will enjoy it, too. Give a copy to a teenager – or a sibling – you love.
