“The Limits of Light” was released to bookstores and online on August 31, 2021 by Austin Macauley Publishers, (London, Cambridge, New York). It features a collection of narrative poems that explores the tales of Greek Mythology, and their contemporary messages.

“The gods, ostensibly divine beings, it would appear, were much like us: avaricious and untrustworthy; vindictive and myopic; malicious and indulgent. It is almost as if these ancient stories foretold the future,” commented Katz.

From Apollo, who was thwarted in love, to Scylla who betrays her father for lust, to Icarus who strives to fly to the sun, only to fall to his death… the tales of the gods unfold in Katz’s compelling and dramatic narrative poetry.

A widely, nationally and internationally published poet, Katz’s work has appeared in numerous anthologies, journals, and literary magazines. With the publication of “The Limits of Light”, she will have published four books of poetry, and co-authored two textbooks with music specialist, Judith A. Thomas, espousing the need to incorporate the arts into school curriculum.

The Library will record the November 12^th Zoom panelist program, providing links to the panelists, plus posting it on the Library’s website. The Library will offer a promotional booklet featuring bios of participating authors, artwork for their book covers, book descriptions, and a link to Susan A.
