Susan Rich finds music in everything inside and outside her windows: Leonora Carrington, Vegetarian Vampires, lovers and ex-lovers, Lorca and Courbet. This book displays the hallmarks of her oeuvre: her mastery of form; her acuity of heart and eye. These terrific poems are full of compassion, lyricism and attention. The selected reflects an ever-present restlessness of spirit, flesh, and intellect. Glad I got to read it.\" - Terrance Hayes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Susan Rich's \u003ci\u003eGallery of Postcards and Maps: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/i\u003e is a wondrous and wonderful collection. It gathers poems from her four volumes of poetry while featuring a stellar selection of new work. Perceptive and honest, these masterful poems represent a life's journey full of imagination, desire, and craft, always striving for transcendence--'knowing yes! is the one chosen thing.' This expansive collection is both a work of art and a map for what it means to be an artist.\" - January Gill O'Neil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"With Susan Rich's new and selected poems, \u003ci\u003eGallery of Postcards and Maps\u003c\/i\u003e, we are given a poet's meditative journey through time, history, memory, desire. It is 'a collage of wanting, ' a swirling, hallucinogenic 'quest into the miraculous.' These poems create a deep conversation with artists, works of art, the world itself as art, and, above all, with the wild, living planet itself. At one point, Rich asks--How to write your one blue life? This \u003ci\u003eGallery of Postcards and Maps\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a guidebook and a poetic response to that very question. Rich is a lighthouse poet--a poet who returns us to the harbor of the self while also illuminating the wide and mysterious world we live in.\" - Brian Turner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eGallery of Postcards and Maps\u003c\/i\u003e, Susan Rich distills the themes explored in previous collections--travel, human rights, family history, the color blue. Every idea is a map she chooses to follow and taking her father's advice, confirms for the reader that: journeys don't happen in straight lines.\" - Geraldine Mills\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Susan Rich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1915022134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915022134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Salmon Poetry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 158\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Susan Rich","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059169849599,"sku":"9781915022134","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_75043d35-5268-4312-86fb-99f4a4a802f7.jpg?v=1685056624","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gallery-of-postcards-and-maps-susan-rich-9781915022134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
