The Limits of Light

By Susan A. Katz

We are descendants of the Ancient Greek Gods. At least in that, we, like them, can dream and desire, wield world-shaping forces, be vindictive and myopic, malicious, and indulgent. The stories of the Gods unfolded in glorious detail, perhaps foreshadowing what was to come. The past and present intermingle, refracting the future into a myriad of possibilities. The story of the Gods is the story of us, only the names have changed.

Susan A. Katz

Susan A. Katz has had a love affair with poetry since the age of six. She has read it, written it, even dreamed it and it has shaped her life and her view of the world, and of herself. Her poems have been called, meditative and lyrical…exhibiting a strong sense of wistfulness and loss, by poet Colette Inez, and terribly powerful…oddly strong…wonderful, by poet Dan Masterson. Susan finds inspiration for her poems in the everyday business of living, of family joys and sorrows, in the stories of others, and in the vast and ethereal landscape of the natural world. Her poems reveal her intense passion for the living quality of language.

Dedication

For Don

who has taught me

that there are no limits

For David

who has taught me

that aspiring to be Hercules

at the age of two

might just have been prophetic

so much more than

I ever taught her
