When You Get Here, is a celebration of the small, precise details that accumulate, like snowflakes, into a life. It's a map guiding us through a landscape of grief, wonder and sensuality, touching all the delicate connections in between. We peek in cupboards, wrestle with lovers, walk on thin ice, followed by a wolf. Every poem reminds the reader to breathe, sense, and feel what it is to be alive.
Joyce Sweeney, author of Impermanence and Wake up, Finishing Line Press, p>Here Shutta Crum's love of language takes us on a fascinating journey, gives us Driving Directions, promises the road knows the way. She opens Father's Cupboard,lets us see what held his world. She studies A Philosophy of Luminescencein a confining marriage and offers new light. In the poemYou Can Have It Back, she wants to return the rib taken from Adam and given to woman, for it no longer holds her aright after the death of a poet friend. In What I Bequeath, Shutta says one day her bones will speak a language we will understand. We are fortunate-in this beautiful collection, she speaks clearly to us and we understand.
