The Suspension of the Moon, my latest poetry collection.

poem from there

What might one look for from somebody brought up close to the land? A down to earth directness? A foundedness in the simplicity from which ‘the thousand things ‘ flower? So that seems to be where Susan Taylor’s poems are coming from. They come, though, very much via herself - and they come from a deal of genuine invention.

The Arvon Foundation, on
The Suspension of the Moon
