Greek Mythology Storyteller Poet Susan A. Katz To Give Author Talk November 8 In Litchfield

LITCHFIELD, Conn. - Oct. 26, 2021 - PRLog -- Poet Susan A. Katz of Washington, Connecticut, will offer a Greek Mythology Storytelling Author Talk on her just-released book, "The Limits of Light", on Monday, November 8, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM at The Litchfield Community Center, 421 Bantam Road (Route 202) in Litchfield. Admission is free, and registration is requested.

Published on August 31, 2021 by Austin Macauley Publishers, "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. "The Limits of Light" is her fourth book of poetry, and she co-authored two textbooks with music specialist, Judith A. Thomas.

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, who 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. She finds inspiration in the intricacies, and intimacies, of life and family, the hazards of living, and the beauty and wonder of the natural world. She 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)

The cost of "The Limits of Light" is $8.95, and Susan A. Katz's works and poetry can be found at https://www.poetladykatz.com. "The Limits of Light" is available at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3keuIo8; The Book Depository: https://bit.ly/3gmcG2m; and in select bookstores.
