Publisher's Synopsis
Susan Spaeth Cherry's award-winning poems do not fall from an "ivory tower" but rise from streets, backyards, and living rooms. Their narrative strength carries the reader forward. Cherry captures the way opposing emotions intertwine. As a result, each of her poems is an experience thick with meaning. Readers of Sackcloth and Silk will get new perspectives but also, find themselves saying, "Yes. That's how it is!"
