MEDIA REVIEWS

"Susan Rich has not been hiding in a room somewhere writing poems. She has been out there in the wide world, observing searing details, responding with empathy, placing her patient ear right at the centre of everyone's stories, pledging -- with compassion and conviction -- to 'pull the thread, click the needles... Translate to yours, translate to mine.' These poems will wound and haunt you, but the larger knowing they bring is crucial. Rich is a caring citizen of every heart-land." -- Naomi Shihad Nye.
