To Inhabit the Felt World

📖 The Scoop

Poetry. TO INHABIT THE FELT WORLD by poet, author and artist, Susan Gardner, reaches beyond boldness to embrace the elemental power of poetic narrative. With unflinching honesty Ms. Gardner stirs a potent brew of themes suffusive to the human spirit passions disappointed and fulfilled, forgiveness unrequited, grief borne in silence, crisis overcome, meaning derived from the exquisite matrix of nature. Her poems draw us inevitably through a landscape of experiences and perceptions not our own, but hauntingly familiar. She takes us strongly in hand to challenge our complacency and elevate our common sense of humanity. In this, her fourth book of poetry, Ms. Gardner expands upon her lyrically descriptive style to explore the potential of narrative form. The result is a collection of poems forceful in content and unyielding in tenderness.

"The work is painfully honest and joyously expressive. You canalmost hear the voice of the poet in the structure of the poems and in the powerfulcadence of the words. Susan's work speaks of honest emotion, introspection, and heart." Sharon Vander Meer"
