Cherished Clay is a collection of poetry that spans almost three decades of the writer’s life. It is split into sections dealing with topics such as injustice, love, loss, and recovery. This collection ultimately reflects the writer’s belief that beauty can come from disaster…as it has in her own life. In this gorgeous collection, Suzanne Johnson’s words soar. Reflecting on the human experience from the most trivial to the most ecstatic to the most tragic, the poet is unafraid to explore the depths of raw pain, loss, and hate. Yet, ultimately, her work is threaded through with a boundless love and hope that is deeply moving, extraordinarily encouraging and even life-changing.
