Fiedorczuk was inspired by her readings of the original Hebrew Psalms, as well as by the process of learning to sing. In her poems she captures the heartache and joy of the Biblical Psalms, but in the context of modern life. She addresses climate change, loss of biodiversity, the upheavals of migration, and, in her most recent poems, the return of war to Europe: Even when bombs are falling you ought to write / perhaps even especially when people lost / in the woods are saying cold, she is so cold.
Fiedorczuk writes of the natural world, the built environment, motherhood, brotherhood, and of vast and tiny passages of time. And as she does, she discovers a new voice, singing to soothe and inspire.whose
flower made from a clod of pain will enfold
the milky way with its claws
of time, its pelt of stars?
