"Kaleidoscopic curiosity, powerfully kinesthetic language, and an encompassing compassion range in this abundant collection, in which personal and public realms serve as equal alembics for the distillation of both materia and light."—Jane Hirshfield

"Rich is a traveler and an observant one at that, with a keen attention to detail and a wonderful ear. These poems are a delight."—Library Journal

Kells, March 25, 2010 (view all comments by Kells)
The Alchemist's Kitchen is Susan Rich's 3rd book of poems and definitely not one to be missed. It looks at the world through an artist's eyes, a writer, a photographer. It offers the reader hollyhocks and half moons, small trays of shimmering bees. Each poem is its own unique taste in this kitchen with "a plate of goji berries, pickled ginger, gorgonzola prawns/dressed on a bed of miniature thyme, a spoon/glistening with pomegranate seeds... As a reader, I was satisfied with each page as well as the book as a whole. The Alchemist's Kitchen is an incredible collection to add to your bookcase.
