\"Susan<\/a><\/p>\n

Susan Barba (Poetry ’12) has just published her second book,\u00a0geode<\/a><\/em>, with Black Sparrow Press!\u00a0 A rave review<\/a> in\u00a0<\/em>the\u00a0Globe <\/em>says\u00a0geode<\/em>\u00a0“pulses with the blood of earth and stone. Through a lens of geography and geology,\u00a0Barba<\/span>\u00a0looks at time, and our human efforts \u2014 sometimes futile, sometimes hopeful, sometimes cruel \u2014 to make sense of forces much larger and much older than\u00a0<\/span><\/span>our selves<\/em><\/span>.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Susan says, What I wanted for this book was to create a work of art in conversation with the earth. My hope now is that this book will be a portal, bringing far-flung places to you, but also beckoning you to go out (if you can, safely), to see the sky, set your feet on the ground.<\/em><\/p>\n

The book arose from anguish and love: anguish at the climate crisis and love for this changeable, rejuvenating earth.\u00a0geode\u00a0is both a response to the crisis and a response to the beauty of the world.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Thank you so much, Susan.\u00a0 Congratulations!<\/p>\n

Susan Barba is the author of\u00a0geode<\/em> (Black Sparrow Press, 2020) and\u00a0Fair Sun <\/em>(David R. Godine, 2017).
