Silas Bronson Library To Welcome Poetry Reading & Author Talk With Poet Susan A. Katz April 23

WATERBURY, Conn. - April 5, 2022 - PRLog -- Poet and storyteller Susan A. Katz of Washington, Connecticut, will offer a free Poetry Reading & Author Talk on her newest book, "The Limits of Light", on Saturday, April 23 at 12:00 PM, outside on the patio of the Silas Bronson Library, 267 Grand Street in Waterbury, Connecticut. Face masks will be optional, preregistration is requested.

Published by Austin Macauley Publishers in August 2021, "The Limits of Light" features a collection of narrative poems that explores the tales of Greek Mythology and their contemporary messages. "The gods," comments Katz, "ostensibly divine beings were just people. We can see the triumphs and disasters of the ancient Greek gods, and modern civilization. It is almost as if these ancient stories foretold the future."

From Apollo, who was thwarted in love, to Scylla, who betrays her father for lust, to Icarus who strives to fly to the sun, only to fall to his death… the tales of the gods unfold in Katz's compelling and dramatic poetry.

A nationally and internationally published poet, Katz's works have appeared in numerous anthologies, journals, and literary magazines. "The Limits of Light" is her fourth published  book of poetry.

For more than 30 years, Katz has worked for The New York State Poets in Public Service. Her work has been cited as "…precise imagery, directness, and honesty…outspokenly erotic and sensual, evoking a powerful sense of physical passion and deeply felt experiences." – Robert Wilson, Poetry Editor, Negative Capability.

Katz has been actively writing and publishing poetry for more than 50 years. Her poems reveal her intense passion for the living quality of language. Katz believes that "Poetry is the need to write beyond the limits of choice; the freedom to see beyond the limits of light."

Copies of "The Limits of Light" will be available for purchase at the April 23 event. The book is also available at http://www.austinmacauley.com/us/book/limits-light; Amazon: https://amzn.to/3keuIo8; The Book Depository: https://bit.ly/3gmcG2m and in select bookstores. Susan A.
