"Poems to Wake Up To"
Mary Oliver ends her poem “The Summer Day” with a question many of us want to answer well: “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
The poems in Greta Sesheta’s collection, Poems To Wake Up To, offer her answer—rooted in her choices and her days—as they portray the poet “growing whole, going wide.”
There are stories here, but these poems are importantly songs and litanies—that describe and illuminate the path she takes.
Poem by poem, the reader sees the steps on that journey of becoming the self that can say “I always have enough.”

Greta, you are our Aurora Borealis: Inviting and dangerous and beautiful — as many edges (waterfalls, doorways) are. Bravo and thank you!
