This collection of poems was written by Susan Sansby during 2022 inspired by her recent move to Ely.
She was born in the Fens but moved to London when she was sixteen returning to live in the Fens in her seventies. The poems are descriptions of places visited, feeling aroused by her surroundings and reflections on past and present events.
The themes that run through the poems are our relationship with nature and history and the importance of preserving what we have on this planet. The destruction of our natural world in the name of progress, and the importance of working together in harmony. A feeling that was aroused by the war in the Ukraine.
The conflict that exists between the pursuit of material wealth at the expense of inner contentment is expressed here. Those unspoken feelings that describe our relationship with the natural world find a voice in these poems.
