Wildlife

Got home to a gorgeous review of Windfalls in the welsh agenda !  ‘Wild uses her poetry to create shards of experience into beautiful objects for display, handing them over to her reader for inspection. Taking up this invitation is a joy … Windfalls is excellent poetry: Wild is an excellent poet … For well-crafted and enjoyable poetry, you could not do much better.’

Patrick & I were out book signing our latest poetry releases today at lovely indie bookshop Storyville Books in Pontypridd. It was an absolute delight to chat to readers, sign books for birthday, Xmas and love thyself gifts and to meet Selwyn the Dog. I also got to wear my new gig tights from Snag... To top it off Ben & I were able to have lunch at the delicious Janet's Authentic Northern Chinese Restaurant in Ponty Market and it was so so so so good!

Come and celebrate books in real life with this belated double launch of Windfalls and Working Out in Swansea, second poetry collections from myself and David Hughes... with a Parthian book stall selling great festive gift picks... Facebook Event Page

  5.0 out of 5 stars Swimming with swallows! Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2021 An adept at modern poetry and the vagaries of the modern world, Susie Wild's latest collection explores life as a singleton being ghosted by boyfriends and yet haunting them, being vegan and yet having to hilariously put up with the palaver of men cooking meat to eventually finding a kind of happiness and marriage to a musician and key worker. This is bang up to date with poems like 'How To Become A Recluse' and 'How Quickly We Forget How To Live'. There is breath and range in these poems from love in a horrific London flat, to an amazing trampoline poem, from boxing lessons to the joy of swimming with swallows. These poems dance through this book without putting a foot wrong. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Windfalls-Susie-Wild/dp/1912681757/
