When She Became You / Songs to Suzanne

When She Became You / Songs to Suzanne, by award-winning poet Michael Jennings, chronicles a love story, the light and the shadows, over most of a lifetime, from the passionate, surreal, goddess-like portraits of the opening "Where She Dances" section to the devastating dark dirges of the "Lost Hallways" sequence: a record of love as lived and a testament to the fact that both love and poetry exist at the intersection of the sacred and the profane. These are intimate and private lyrical exultations that affirm what is most valuable and most powerful in our shared expressions of what it means to be most fully human and deeply alive. They are the work of a magisterial poet at the pinnacle of his craft.
