The Wild Language of Deer

Susan Glass’s poetry collection delves into themes of nature, sensory experience, and the interior life shaped by visual impairment, using vivid imagery and lyrical language.

The poems reflect close attention to animals, birds, and landscapes, often drawing connections between external observation and inner reflection.

Glass blends memoir-like moments with poetic inquiry, inviting readers to consider perception, memory, and belonging.

Her background as an English professor informs the craft and precision of her verse, while lived experience brings emotional depth and perspective.

The collection contributes to contemporary American poetry with an intimate, observant voice that centers the natural world and personal transformation.
