Susan is regarded as a witty, lyrical and inventive poet, who deals with social and environmental issues as well as with the more intimate and personal. Her first full-length collection, Creatures of the Intertidal Zone, has just been published by Cinnamon Press and was launched at the Norwegian Church Arts Centre in Cardiff. The book was written after Susan was awarded a Churchill Travel Fellowship to journey through Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland in the footsteps of Gudrid, an intrepid tenth/eleventh century female Viking.
