Overview
Poetry. "Susan Terris's new and selected poems is described best in the surprising way its images align as proofs of story with and against voice. Sometimes the voice is made missile with the oddest lyric arc and target. These are strongly meditative poems. This is a wonderful book." Norman Dubie
"Beginning with the newest 'Ghostlit' sequence which is wrenching and shattering and then moving chronologically from the earliest work, feels completely natural, and GHOST OF YESTERDAY actually provides an extraordinary context for even the very earliest poems from Curved Space and especially, of course, for the big build to the remarkable poems of THE HOMELESSNESS OF SELF and that work remains, for me, the most accomplished and heart-breaking work by anybody in these past twenty years. It's subtle and eloquent and devastating. It is, in the end, truly a kind of 'wisdom literature' in the oldest sense battered, brave, resilient, loving, humane, intelligent, wicked, and always wise. And the writing here is impeccable, always." David St. John"
