Dear John!

Hi! Hope you are well and the writing is happening! Thanks for your kind words about my work. I like what you say about tone. Thanks. Word choice and tone are inseparable in my work (and in my head when I am writing) and I spend much time researching words and sometimes, particular subjects before I write, only for them to tumble out in ways I did not expect-- that's the muse part of my brain.

But I have my poetic idea-- the beanstalk first, in mind. This quite often includes a form. The time researching dictates how it grows.

World's End is a poem against the odds. I'm glad you like it. (I feel like hugging my son Joshua whenever I read it.) Sometimes, I feel like I am writing the same poem, over and over again.... I feel I have faith. I think, I do. See you soon, in Mold.

Love from, Suzanne X

Hi Rob! Thanks so much for being in touch. I really enjoyed listening to you read on Wednesday, and I am looking forward to reading your story in full, from this simply amazing book. I do hope to see you again soon, and perhaps the rest of your family too-- would love to hear your poetry now, so please keep me informed! Suzanne XX

It was good meeting you in St Fagans with David! What a day of readings and listening! I loved taking part in A Fall into Grace and there's talk of a continuation by some people and others who were not apart but attending!

Yes! thank you. And thanks to my very live 5 year old son (in 1992).

Good to meet up with you at Wenloch. Plan to visit North Wales again during one of my journeys this year.

Very striking how varied the vocabulary you recruit into your poem. (As an aside, would bet yours is the first use of 'saprophytic fury' - in a poem; but entirely appropriate.)
