Susan Flynn's poetry is an ongoing conversation with nature. Her love and respect for the natural world are demonstrated by exquisite observations of the tiniest life forms: the grasshopper strumming his thighs with hope. When she digs deep into clay the poet reminds us of the importance of, and our reliance on the humble earth-worm: The worms are blessed and thanked for labour. We are introduced to a myriad of wonderful images such as Bats wrap their slumber in their soft black wings. She can be inspired by the grandeur of space, the night sky or the simplicity of her own reflection in an animal's eye. These poems leave the reader with the satisfying gift of wonder.
