The Introvert's Dilemma

By susan serafin jess

The Introvert's Dilemma: how to live in a world where survival calls for engagement and action when one's inclination is to retreat and overthink, to ruminate and lollygag, to catastrophize and hide. In dark light verse, these poems trace the trajectory of introversion over a lifetime. From a humiliating lisp in childhood, to the unintended consequences of writing poetry as a teenager, to the sleepless nights of rueful middle age and the stillness of the pandemic, this collection explores the idea of a fixed temperament. Do we change, or is the child the mother to the woman?
