The Verse for Now is the ninth book from poet Jacqueline Suskin. This meditative collection asks us to accept ourselves as planetary, at once vast and cosmic, while equally small and animal. The Detroit-based poet and educator will be celebrating the launch of her latest book on Earth Day, April 22, at 27th Letter Books! Suskin has appeared on this podcast once before, back in late 2023; she's been teaching workshops, writing books, hosting retreats and creating spontaneous poetry around the world since 2009.

She has a couple of substacks you can follow, and you can find more information about the Launch Event on April 22 here
