What other poets are saying:  
​

Sue Sutherland-Hanson shows us that we’re all connected: from clamming with friends to being “repaired” at the Napa Auto Parts store; from planting the summer garden to keeping vigil for a loved one.  These tender, lyrical poems demonstrate the shimmering threads that join us while revealing the “slippery mystery, this everyday once-ness of each person’s life.”

 

In her compassionate poems, Sutherland-Hanson reaches out to address and embrace not only loved ones, but “perfect strangers” encountered on the road and in the news.  In the words of the final poem, “we will return to dust, but my bones know to form a star.”  Five stars to this fine collection for reminding us what we know in our bones.
