Butterfly Under Glass (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947976962)

Butterfly Under Glass is a powerful poetry collection that confronts love, loss, rage, and desire with unflinching honesty. Written across decades, Susan R. Morritt's poems trace a life from youthful intensity to the hard-won clarity of later years, exploring illness, memory, aging, and the body with striking immediacy. Blending formal and free verse, Morritt's work is sharp, lyrical, and emotionally direct--by turns intimate, bitter, tender, and darkly ironic. These are not quiet reflections, but charged encounters with endurance, identity, and the passage of time. Refusing easy consolation, Butterfly Under Glass offers a vivid and deeply human record of a life fully felt.
