The Angel of Obsession

Some may lament the uncertainties and disappointments of life, but Julie Suk embraces its tumult. Reaching past both the ideal and the obvious, these poems delve below the surfaces of such mundane matters as family, loneliness, love, and loss. Rousing us to the passion and wonder that define our essential humanity, The Angel of Obsession celebrates the full, ragged canvas of living.
