Love, loss, rage, desire—nothing is softened in Butterfly Under Glass.
Written across decades, Susan R. Morritt’s poems move from youthful intensity to the hard clarity of later life, confronting illness, memory, aging, and the body through charged, often unsettling encounters with what it means to endure.
Blending formal and free verse, Morritt writes with a sharp, lyrical edge, by turns intimate, bitter, tender, and darkly ironic. The result is a collection that refuses easy consolation, offering instead a vivid record of a life fully felt.
