About the Book
“With her keen and uncanny ability to capture our most human moments, Susan Cowger’s Scarab Hiding portrays the frightfully delicate journey of facing the death of a family member—both through courage and the unglamorous ache of those who survive. With lyrical deftness and the unwitting details of authentic experience, Cowger’s poems do the paradoxical work of presenting the beautiful and the painful in a gleaming instant so the the reader too can ‘go ahead, give the silver / kiss…find that / tree with your coat on, the only place left / to hold the cockles of your heart.’”
~Susanna Childress
