Ambassador of Numb (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962082914)

Susan Scutti divides her new collection of poems, Ambassador of Numb, into two distinct hemispheres. The poems in the first section celebrate and reference the moment by identifying and describing the fleeting thoughts and sentiments that orbit the searching and suffering of life. The poems in the second section, linked like meditation beads, trace the trek from illness to renewed wellness. Scutti's poems arrive in a variety of formal and informal scaffolds and structures to catalyze the implications of the words themselves. Drawn from life experience, this collection provides perspective on change and aging yet also fortifies a vision of human existence as responsive to the moment.
