蘇姍•伯里斯•舒茲，是當代美國最負盛名的女詩人。她的詩歌，詩體自由開放，語言樸素流暢，內容健康向上。之所以受到我國廣大詩歌愛好者的普遍歡迎，更是因為她的詩歌崇尚善美，謳歌友誼，贊美愛情，激勵進取。那么，還是讓我們欣賞她的詩作吧。　　

SUSAN POLIS SCHUTZ grew up in the small country town of 　Peekskill　, 　　New York　　. In 1969, she and her husband, popular artist Dr. Stephen Schutz, moved to Colorado, where their intense love for each other and their desire to be together at all times encouraged them to begin silk-screening posters of Susan’s poetry and Stephen’s art work. From this union of their talents and love, SPS Studios was born. Today, Susan is the author of eleven best selling poetry books, and her poems have been published on millions of greeting cards. Whether she is writing about her feelings on motherhood, her love for Stephen, her fondness for nature, or her thoughts on life, her heartfelt words are the ones people look to for help in understanding and expressing their own emotion.
