This is a story written from my journals. From immigrating as a four-year-old and trying to fit into a different culture to turning away from God in my teens. From a violent marriage doomed to fail and the death of my son, with the repercussions that followed. And yet, also between the lines, there is the joy and reverence for life itself. Making a lot of mistakes through life, I have learned not to give myself over to another set of values, or to another human being. It took me a long time to find myself and to love the person I was meant to be. I still have a lot to learn, even now, about love and how we are to address love and forgiveness in our lives. My story is a testimony to "the old truths." To me, it is a reminder not to make the same mistakes. In the end, it turned out to be not only the story of the first forty years of my life, but my spiritual journey as well. There are still thirty years of untouched journals...

A poetic meditation on life, loss, and legacy. "So what lasts?" asks the speaker in the poem "El Anatsui." This is the central question of Susan Jackson's new collection In the River of Songs. Jackson is a poet dedicated to exploring the mysteries of what it means to be fully human in a world where love, loss, pain, and joy are irrevocably nested together. These poems seem to answer that whatever does last is not easily defined; maybe only the intangible qualities of heart, perseverance, generosity of spirit, and moments when the poet is suddenly anchored in appreciation for "the ever-flowing fullness of the world." Readers will be touched by the intimate beauty of the poems in this new volume.
