Eden in the Rearview Mirror
Susan Elbe
Word Press
ISBN: 1933456779 · 80 pages · Paperback · $17.00 + shipping
Honorable Mention for the Council for Wisconsin Writers 2007 Posner Poetry Book Award. Judge Bruce Bennett's comments.
Review by Sarah Busse
"I can't remember a manuscript that enacts so well a painful or difficult transformation. Read and love this book as I do. " - Hilda Raz, co-author of WHAT BECOMES YOU
"Susan Elbe’s luminous lines delicately tip back and forth between outer and inner worlds. As 'the sheer silk of the river wrinkling / salmon-pink in last-ditch sunlight,' her poems sift the phenomenal world for the refraction of memories in time. These are memorable, moving poems." - Arthur Sze
"Susan Elbe’s new volume of beautifully crafted poetry reflects an enviable sense of self-awareness, as well as the weight of conviction. These poems touch with searing honesty on matters of love, loss, and disaffection, and yet even the darkest of them somehow seem lit from within—not with flash and glitter, but with a slant, silvery sheen that both illuminates and demystifies." - Marilyn Taylor

Light Made from Nothing
Susan Elbe
Parallel Press
ISBN: 1-893311-33-3 · 32 pages · Paperback · $10.00 + shipping
"She has a wonderful sense of movement and a keen ear and eye for imagery. Her poems are ambitious.... There is always something to catch and please the reader in this work." - Paul Zimmer, The Georgia Review.
She "eloquently reminds us we must rely on faith, on hope, on any faint glimmer. For Elbe, there is light enough." - Vince Gotera, The North American Review.
Susan Elbe affirms that "what matters is the wanting" in her poem "This Isn’t About You" from the wonderful Light Made from Nothing (Parallel Press, 2003) and in each of the nineteen poems in this chapbook we are transported by her specific language, her knowledge of what to say and what to withhold. These poems took my breath away. - Jennifer MacPherson, The Comstock Review
