Poetry. Bilingual Edition in English and Spanish. Susan Gardner, an astute observer of human nature and the natural environment, is skilled at illuminating relationships and drawing contextual meaning from her surroundings. The strength and lyrical appeal of her poems, in English and in Spanish, bridge the gaps between the two languages with clarity of meaning and the best poetic values. Each poem in this collection appears in both languages. It is a challenging task to translate poetry from one language to another, given the differences in rhythmic feel and expressive syntax between any two languages. In this case, the work is characterized by rich imagery and a clear, concise means of expression, no matter which language serves as the starting point.

Literature & Fiction

Poetry

Literary Nonfiction. Memoir. Women's Studies. DRAWING THE LINE is the story of personal adventure and redemption, tracing a life lived continually on the edge between chaos and harmony, tragedy and joy. Beyond her recounting of extraordinary places and events, Susan Gardner gives us a perceptive, generational voice. She recalls pivotal decades of societal change and touches on basic themes of human experience that are universal and timeless. Spanning six decades and various countries of East Asia, Europe and Mexico, it tells of a precocious child driven to excel and to escape a turbulent, combative home life. We experience the struggles and accomplishments of a uniquely gifted woman as she overcomes official strictures and domestic discord to become an accomplished artist. Ultimately, we see her break free of old patterns and constraints to live the joyous complexity of personal fulfillment and the promise of a new beginning.

Poetry. TO INHABIT THE FELT WORLD by poet, author and artist, Susan Gardner, reaches beyond boldness to embrace the elemental power of poetic narrative. With unflinching honesty Ms. Gardner stirs a potent brew of themes suffusive to the human spirit—passions disappointed and fulfilled, forgiveness unrequited, grief borne in silence, crisis overcome, meaning derived from the exquisite matrix of nature. Her poems draw us inevitably through a landscape of experiences and perceptions not our own, but hauntingly familiar. She takes us strongly in hand to challenge our complacency and elevate our common sense of humanity. In this, her fourth book of poetry, Ms. Gardner expands upon her lyrically descriptive style to explore the potential of narrative form. The result is a collection of poems forceful in content and unyielding in tenderness."The work is painfully honest and joyously expressive. You canalmost hear the voice of the poet in the structure of the poems and in the powerfulcadence of the words. Susan's work speaks of honest emotion, introspection,and heart."—Sharon Vander Meer
