From Eduardo C. Corrall (author of Guillotine): "The Stone Tries to Understand the Hands is a dazzling book of poems-I underlined many lines and images. The electric particulars of the past and the sorrow of knowing dovetail into poems that pulse with music, pleasure. One of the greatest pleasures is the lyrical thinking that serpentines through the language. Another pleasure: the attentiveness to other texts, to language itself. This is a book with a wondrous reach, but it never loses sight of human intimacies and intricacies. Susannah Sheffer is a tremendously gifted poet. Her poems are deftly crafted, luminous."
