Full of Ears and Eyes Am I by Lauren Suchenski

“Nimble in nature might be the subtitle for Lauren Suchenski’s first collection of poems, Full of Ears and Eyes Am I. She dances — in circles and spirals — between her personal nature and Nature writ large. You might be inclined from reading any one poem to view her word dance as all transcendence but read another and then another. Beneath the urgent rush there is a still pool, beneath the airy reach a stance rooted in stark, rational awareness of time and place and the questions that might really matter most.”

–C. R. Resetarits, author of Brood

“Lauren’s language cascades down the page. I am carried along in its music and then stopped by longing – yours, now mine.  In these poems, Lauren gets me reaching inside and through her “fulls” and “empties” able to utter  “the sound inside the star”.  I’ll be revisiting these poems again.”

–Kathryn Petersen, author of Hearsay
