Legacies
Suzanne E. Berger
"Suzanne E. Berger's new work displays a mature talent. She is at her lyrical best in
poems, that express feelings we all share, but, in so doing, they carry us off to new
destinations. Her deft use of myth and dream deserve our attention."
—Maxine
Kumin
"Her poetry is her sensibility, reduced and refined to an essence...meant to be lingered
over line by line rather than read quickly."
—Publishers Weekly
"Her prosody is so tuneful that it serves to balance her recurrent perception that
life is dangerous and lonely. Berger convinces us that there is consolation to be found in
acknowledging our uniquely bleak cosmic situation and responding to it with loving
imagination, no matter how bizarre that exercise may appear."
—Booklist
