After the Firestorm Susan Kolodny

Poetry. Susan Kolodny draws on her work as a clinical psychoanalyst in her first collection of poetry, AFTER THE FIRESTORM. Kolodny's evocative style arises from an imagination both sensual and analytical. The poems suggest the unity of love and suffering, and walk a difficult line between the pleasures of the sensory world and its dormant, invisible dimensions. Kolodny is a brilliant observer of nature, at once attentive and inquisitive, whose haunting questions provide a starting point for her lyrical investigations into the losses and traumas we all experience.
