Publisher Marketing: Fantastic New Work by visionary poet Susan Thackrey / seeing through the waters.
Evoking Homer, the sea, and our particularity as humans who face choices, with and against orders, Susan Thackrey, a poet in the line of Robert Duncan and the literary and psychological classics, writes a compelling whole book which keeps us in its wave (and waves) as it seeks "for some / common / rhyme" and finds more than one might imagine. Poetry of this sort compels us to look within, and to connect that inner vision to the world. Place Thackrey in the company of H.D., Virginia Woolf, Robert Duncan, and Sappho. This is a glorious book.
