I love the way each line pays attention and makes you attend, the way each poem lets you breathe before its ending takes away your breath. When Kelly-DeWitt describes a woman\u2019s arms in a painting by Raphael as forming \u2018a perfect basketry,\u2019 she might as well be describing her own poems and the impeccably artful way they contain whole worlds.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Susan Cohen<\/strong>, author of&nbsp;<i>Democracy of Fire<\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe diversity of forms and subjects in Susan Kelly-DeWitt\u2019s&nbsp;<i>Frangible Operas<\/i>&nbsp;is breathtaking. With grace, precision, insight, and care, she engages nearly every aspect of our world\u2014the political, the natural, the theoretical, the familial, the theological, the personal. One section of the book is devoted entirely to poems about works of art, ranging from Rembrandt to Diane Arbus\u2014a fitting metaphor for the expansive reach of her vision. These poems may span over four decades of writing, but the poems of&nbsp;<i>Frangible Operas<\/i> will hold their notes for as long as we are singing.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>Dean Rader<\/strong>, author of&nbsp;<i>Self-Portrait as a Wikipedia Entry<\/i>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am happy to announce Frangible Operas published by&nbsp;Gunpowder Press. \u201c\u2018Tonight the bells of the flowers ring out,\u2019 begins the title poem in Susan Kelly-DeWitt\u2019s exquisite new collection, and you <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/2024\/07\/11\/new-frangible-operas\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p9LimX-eT","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=923"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":927,"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/923\/revisions\/927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/susankelly-dewitt.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
