Poetry. "Susan Scutti's unique voice is unmistakable in this collection. Her poems feel organic, as if they'd been born whole. Poignant, intimate, and evocative, they are grounded in the everyday world while also being transcendant. Her topics are diverse: including, for example, work ('Job'), Hiroshima ('Death is the mother of beauty'), and love ('Hymn'). She leads us into ourselves: showing how chaotic, contradictory and vulnerable we are while navigating through life experiences. They make us think and feel. They make us feel as if we'd experienced them ourselves"—Elizabeth Harrington.
