Summary

Poetry. "There seems to be no limit to the range of experience and empathy in the far-reaching poems of Susan Terris. Out of a life passionately lived and remembered, she has constructed a bold map for survival and self-understanding. Her wisdom, dazzle of language, imaginative exploration of time and nature, and amazing appetite for risk and 'dark surprise' make CONTRARIWISE a book to treasure"--Shirley Kaufman.
