What you hold in your hand is a love story in plain verse; love not merely between a man and a woman but of a place and time. It tells a tale of love and life and dreams, both past and in remembered present. As a graduate student at the age of twenty-nine, fleeing an unhappy marriage and a heart-rending affair with an alcoholic professor, Susan sought a moratorium on her life in the remoteness of Black Mesa, Arizona. What she found was love, only to lose it twice over. Love grounded in solitude and circumstance becomes a unique and precious gift -- set apart in time -- for there is nothing to dilute its intensity. When it is lost, the pain is so great, it alchemizes everything around it. By the time Susan was forced to leave Black Mesa, it had already metamorphosed into a symbol of every dream she would ever seek, or find, or lose. It was no longer a place, it was the Dream itself, and she, the Dreamer.
