WASHINGTON, Conn. - Oct. 4, 2021 - PRLog -- Poet Susan A. Katz of Washington, Connecticut, will offer two free Author Talks on her just-released book, "The Limits of Light". The first Talk will be Wednesday, October 13 at 6:00 PM at the Bethlehem Library, 32 Main Street South, Bethlehem, Conn.

Published on August 31, 2021 by Austin Macauley Publishers, (London, New York), "The Limits of Light" features a collection of narrative poems that explores the tales of Greek Mythology, and their contemporary messages. "The gods, ostensibly divine beings were much like us: untrustworthy; vindictive and myopic; malicious and indulgent," comments Katz.

An internationally published poet, Katz's work has appeared in numerous anthologies, journals, and literary magazines. With "The Limits of Light", she will have published four books of poetry, and co-authored two textbooks with music specialist, Judith A. Thomas, espousing the need to incorporate the arts into school curriculum.

For more than 30 years, Katz worked for The New York State Poets in Public Service, and then, with Judith A. Thomas she conducted student/teacher poetry workshops in the United States and Canada. Her work has been cited as: "…precise imagery, directness, and honesty…outspokenly erotic and sensual, evoking a powerful sense of physical passion and deeply felt experiences." – Robert Wilson, Poetry Editor, Negative Capability.

For more than 50 years, Katz has been actively writing and publishing poetry. She finds inspiration for her poems in the intricacies, and intimacies, of life and family, the hazards of living, and the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Katz believes that "Poetry is the need to write beyond the limits of choice; the freedom to see beyond the limits of light."

Titles of poems in "The Limits of Light" include "The Rape of Persephone" (Persephone & Hades); Of Beauty Born (Medusa); To Phaeton (Phaeton & Apollo); By What Name Love (Minos, King of Crete, made war upon Megara; Nisus was the King of Megara and Scylla was his daughter); What Matters (Narcissus & Echo); Hazard of the Heart (Zeus); and The Gift (In the End)
