The Book of Ten

About this book

"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 ableā€”adept, evenā€”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 landscapeā€”as if the dear reader had been on holiday there with her all alongā€”and provides details of her views of this place, making it familiar at once even if it screams unknown, remote, or exotic."ā€”Coal Hill Review
