Light Behind the Shadows is a collection of poems that will touch most people who read them, for they deal with many aspects of life as we know it. Each poem is well-made and imaginative but not hard to read. Susan Skinner is not afraid to face many difficult subjects and fundamental thoughts that face us all. There is often a sense of hope and light in many of these poems that will possibly give people courage in their own experiences. These poems each have their own individual rhythm that suits the theme they are dealing with. Susan has always been convinced that there should be music and rhythm in poetry because those two attributes have made us mentally dance ever since we were taught nursery rhymes and responded to them unselfconsciously when we were very little. Poetry is for enjoyment and those quiet moments in a busy life.
