"Susan Terris is a poet of tensile, particular language and fearless investigation."--Jane Hirshfield
"In a crazed world, we love small things," a speaker tells us in GREEN LEAVES, UNSEEING. And this poet offers up chocolate soufflé, honeycomb, ghost bones, geese arrowing south, black widows, autumn's blaze, ice houses on a frozen lake. All beads strung along the twine of poems crafted with grit and humor and--shall I say it?--grace."--Danusha Laméris
"Susan Terris is a poet of tensile, particular language and fearless investigation. In this far-reaching book, Terris's gifts of superb observation and word craft turn in multiple directions--into the myths, stories and realities of childhood; into the myths, stories and rendered lives of figures from science, history, and the arts; into the myths, stories, and (sur)realities of personal experience. This book holds the manyness of selves, both intimate and enlarging; it is also a book of connection, world witness, self-witness, and imaginative expansion."--Jane Hirshfield
