Forward

"Susan Gibson's poetry reads as if Neruda had been born a Canadian woman. She arcs over time and space with a passionate, sympathetic eye for everything from lichens and rattlesnakes to friendship and health. I read this book of honest optimism on a cold winter morning, then headed out into the sunlight smiling." Harry Greene, author of Snakes: the Evolution of Mystery in Nature. Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University.

"These are recognized friends; clear and precise, but the most delightful surprise is the more recent tempered, bold voice." Judy Lowry, poet, author of Exile No More.
