Porcelain Crack is a book about those pieces of me that were cracked, while other pieces were put back together. Like looking through a prism, here you see the many facets of my bits and pieces that struggle to be whole.

My Skin Doesn't Fit my Soul, a pathway inwards in order to deal with the world outside; more of a journey than a destination, more questions than answers.

In a world of bits and pieces, Susan Joyner-Stumpf confronts the chaos in order to find the wholeness she knows lies deep within the crevices of Earth, and humanity.

Puncture Beyond Emerald is a journey of the soul ... finding acceptance, seeking answers, admitting imperfections and acknowledging love and its alter ego hate. Just as it is realistic it is also a flirt with imagination. Come take a poetic ride in which you probably won't look back.

My poems are an immediate rush of expression, an inner need to connect and to begin myself, and end the constant longing. It is a funnel through which all things eventually flow outwards, the essence that is me thrown to the masses. I write because I am this thing that must create, or so shall I be destroyed. Song of the Wood is my latest fall from the Heaven of Words, to play my instrument, my literary flute. I blow into this world my latest gesture, a kiss of meter and rhyme and metaphor, expecting nothing in return. Perhaps an echo, a sigh. What would be nice is someone to turn...
