To read the poetry of Susan Firer is to enter a unique building constructed by the imagination, like Kubla Khan's pleasure-dome, out of the shimmering material of words. These poems reveal a love of language both for its own dear sake and for its ability to deliver the news some of us cannot live without.
The force of her language seems to pressure the dull coals of experience into diamonds.... a brave, flamboyant and independent sensibility.
Whitman, cataloguer savant, would indeed be proud.
