RISINGS is the culminating volume in Susan D. Olsen’s Prime Collections series — a body of work spanning decades of reflection, artistry, and awakening. In this luminous gathering of poems and prose, Olsen traces the quiet movements of becoming: the rise from loss into love, from confusion into clarity, from silence into song. Across seven thematic pathways — Clarity & Perspective, Innocence & Unconditional Love, Time & Remembrance, Creativity, Healing, Transcendence, and Unity — RISINGS invites readers to witness the arc of transformation that defines a life fully lived. At once intimate and universal, these pieces speak to the courage it takes to rise again and again toward light. With language that is spare yet resonant, Susan D. Olsen reminds us that beauty is not only what endures, but what emerges.
