Poetry. Art. Her poems read like entries in a private journal, heartfelt expressions of passion, sorrow, and reflection. With profound grief and deep love, we dedicate this book to our mother — Katy, Clare, and Paula.
This collection of intimate short poems, accompanied by the author’s drawings and paintings, stands as both a tribute and a memorial to a deeply felt, richly lived life.
I clean the red clay
off my mare’s hooves
with a white stone
or a green one.
All seems so precious — the stones,
red earth, round hooves.
(“I Clean the Red Clay”)
Life’s most treasured moments are often irreplaceable — a fleeting instant that cannot be repeated, a subject that cannot be bought, a joy too profound to fully describe, a person never to be forgotten. Susan embodies all of these and more. — Robert Redford
