I Am a Superfluous Woman

by Susan Foreman

These poems are for you who strive to think the good thought, impart love to life as you can, but often feel lost to the practical and navigationally in charge of the world. You are invited to travel through these verses as a vagrant and beggar among spirits, seeking the God in each person, seeking the spirit of all things in life. This book is for those who seek knowledge that is felt as a diaphanous wisdom, and a vocation of generosity and kindness, humility and patience; not necessarily laudable skills acclaimed by the masses of society. I stand in the last stages of the invisible, with those compassionate, superfluous people who triumphantly carry on, tears in their eyes, with the illusive quality they recognize as sincerity, nobility, genius and heroism; in their daily focus, in their momentary focus, in their minute to minute existence.
