These both hit me hard... powerful stuff, and timely. Much ink has been spent in praise of all that is worth protecting in nature, yet somehow we still seem to forget.
Incredible Susie - I so want a book of your poetry so I can read and reread and absorb and delight in it all. It is always a beautiful, challenging, visceral experience ♥️
Hi Susannah. Such a vital subject.... 40+ heat is very familiar to me, from my years living and working in remote desert communities of Central Australia, but to find that happening in Germany is beyond disturbing. We live near the coast now, but the climate fluctuations are definitely getting wilder.

Crazy isn’t it! Here is to remembering. Thanks for restacking!
Beautiful poems Suzannah..The first one made me think you were in dry Australia.
You would certainly be forgiven for thinking so! That summer was in the 40‘s and utterly boiling!!! It felt completely relentless.
Okay these are GORGEOUS.
I’m so happy you think so! 😊

Well funnily enough, I have just been asked by a publisher if I would gather a collection together and we begin working on it next year!! exciting!
YAY!!! 💚 I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
Incredible movement in these! You can feel the weight of the heat and migration. Really lovely.
Thank you! 😊

Haunting photo Susannah... Beautiful and challenging words. We have work to do to figure out how to get through this.
