Bodies of Light - Paperback

by Susan Tekulve (Author)

This is Susan Tekulve's long awaited debut full-length poetry collection published by Serving House Books

Susan Tekulve's Bodies of Light both illuminates and enchants. In odes to

body parts-teeth and thumbs, feet and hair-as well as bodies inside

bodies (pregnancies), this poet delights in the corporal and spiritual. In

elegies, Tekulve honors the bodies of her beloved dead and the magic of

her garden. Hummingbirds, tarantulas, stinkbugs, spiders, and bees wearing

"tiny yellow combat boots" populate these terrific poems of wonder and

dazzle.

--Denise Duhamel, author of Pink Lady, Scald, and Blowout
