“We may not view our lives as being full of futile pursuits, but Susan Erikson’s poetry prompts the reader to reflect on what we observe today that can frustrate and fail to satisfy. She brings a New Testament framing of Solomon’s book of wisdom with biblical allusion and a descriptive look at man’s ageless pursuits that encompass the deeply upsetting and truly beautiful. While thorough in relating life’s modern-day experiences, there is a Psalm-like hopefulness and expressive acknowledgement of God.”
