Jackson is a poet dedicated to exploring the mysteries of what it means to be fully human in a world where love, loss, pain, and joy are irrevocably nested together. These poems seem to answer that whatever does last is not easily defined; maybe only the intangible qualities of heart, perseverance, generosity of spirit, and moments when the poet is suddenly anchored in appreciation for \"the ever-flowing fullness of the world.\" Readers will be touched by the intimate beauty of the poems in this new volume.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Jackson\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eThrough a Gate of Trees\u003c\/i\u003e and the chapbook \u003ci\u003eAll the Light in Between\u003c\/i\u003e.
