As with all her poems, acknowledgement of the human spirit is evident, not separable, from her writing. \u003cem\u003e'Poems From The Alley'\u003c\/em\u003e find shelter in the shift between techniques. Susan brings the present and past worlds to life by reversing and elaborating traditional stanzas and bringing soothsaying echoes of historic form to light. As with previous works, epic book-length prose of \u003cem\u003eSheetstone, Honey In The Blood, \u003c\/em\u003eand the poetry of \u003cem\u003eFragments of The Human Heart', Quieter Histories: Winter To Winter', Send The Raven, \u003c\/em\u003eBlanshard connects epochs of time with subtlety, elegance, imagination, emotional attitude, and notable sensuality. \u003cem\u003ePoems From The Alley' \u003c\/em\u003eis a continuum of the dialogue with past and present histories, what is inherited, possessed and dispossessed; what is remembered and what is known.
