A poetic meditation on life, loss, and legacy. "So what lasts?"
asks the speaker in the poem "El Anatsui." This is the central
question of Susan Jackson's new collection In the River of Songs.
Jackson is a poet dedicated to exploring the mysteries of what it
means to be fully human in a world where love, loss, pain, and joy
are irrevocably nested together. These poems seem to answer that
whatever does last is not easily defined; maybe only the intangible
qualities of heart, perseverance, generosity of spirit, and moments
when the poet is suddenly anchored in appreciation for "the
ever-flowing fullness of the world." Readers will be touched by the
intimate beauty of the poems in this new volume.
