Poet To Offer Author Talk On Newly-Released Book "The Limits of Light" at New Fairfield Library

NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn. - Oct. 13, 2021 - PRLog -- Poet Susan A. Katz of Washington, Connecticut, will offer a free Author Talk on her just-released book, "The Limits of Light", on Saturday, October 23 from 3:00 to 4:00 PM hosted by The New Fairfield Library at 2 Brush Hill Road in New Fairfield, Connecticut.

Published on August 31, 2021 by Austin Macauley Publishers, (London, Cambridge, New York, Sharjah), "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: avaricious and untrustworthy; vindictive and myopic; malicious and indulgent. It is almost as if these ancient stories foretold the future," comments Katz.

A nationally and 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 music/movement specialist, Judith A. Thomas, 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.

Katz has been actively writing and publishing poetry for more than 50 years. Her poems reveal her intense passion for the living quality of language. 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 Susan A. Katz's "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)

The cost of "The Limits of Light" collection of poetry is $8.95, and her works and poetry can be found on her website https://www.poetladykatz.com. "The Limits of Light" is available at The Book Depository: https://bit.ly/3gmcG2m; and in select bookstores.
