What We Take with Us

By Susan Dworski Nusbaum

Book Overview

Through the prisms of love and loss, memory, individual narratives, and the natural world, this collection of poems celebrates the bounty of life-ordinary human experience as an act of discovery. Our daily encounters with the world, universal and particular, are what breathe life into us-what we take with us and ultimately leave behind. The poems examine the common landmarks of our lives, "the careful threads that hold us together," joy and suffering, passions and disappointments, the search for identity, complexities of nature, growth and decline, the paradoxes of reality. Meaningful gifts abound in the small and often astonishing details which serve to define the human condition.
