'We’re delighted to publish four poems by writer Susie Wild as our first writer on The Codex, a new, special project with Broken Spine Arts Collective to showcase contemporary talent. Susie’s poetry has really distinctive appeal, with its playful, inventive phrasing and unexpected imagery, taking on almost any subject full-pelt as a conjuror of words. With her intense focus, Susie Wild can transform the everyday, the ordinary – a walk in the park, bouncing on a trampoline, a traumatic break-up, into a vibrant, often humorous and surreal poem, taking us into multiple situations, both challenging and provoking us as readers. The poems in ‘Better Houses’ and ‘Windfalls’ have a stripped-back, seamless and finished quality, reflected in her work with Parthian, where she edits Mari Ellis Dunning, Natalie Ann Holborow and Rae Howells, some of our favourite Welsh poets.'
