NOMINATED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

Granite Lady
Susan Fromberg Schaeffer's second volume of poetry speaks of what it is to be a lover, a parent, a child in this world--adrift on a planet where everything is strangely, wondrously, frighteningly alive and fraught with omens.

The Bible of the Beasts of the Little Field
The poems create a unique mythology,
familiar and yet profoundly the author's own.
Everything she touches turns to legend.

"Wonderfully appealing...wise and spare..a universe here made fresh and new...Verses written with the simplicity and magic of the early Yeats." —Kirkus Reviews


Alphabet for the Lost Years
The verses in Susan's fourth book of poetry are imbued with the same supernatural light which suffuses the black and white photographs adorning these pages.
