Nothing to You

"Sensual and unabashed, Suzanne Roberts' poems draw you into a world where "it isn't enough to walk over/ the bridge. You must/ look under it, see how/wind distorts your reflection." Roberts walks with you "in the space between dripping ferns," takes you where "the leaving becomes/part of the other world, / of sleep, of dreams," where "dawn unties/ the earth from sky." Nothing to You is an arresting collection of poems where the poet's gaze is unblinking even as she admits, "I should look away now, but don't." --Sholeh Wolpé, author of The Scar Saloon and Rooftops of Tehran "Suzanne Roberts weaves together restlessness, travel experiences, and a healthy strand of suspicion, creating a tapestry both intriguing and mysterious. Often conversational with suggestive language, rife with images yet understated, Roberts' poems promise adventures both physical and mental, grand and private, cloaked in an atmosphere of spoiled romance and esthetic longing." --Stephen Reichert, Editor, Smartish Pace
