Spent a few months putting together A Collection of Poetry by Susan Beckwith.  It was a gift, a book to celebrate the written word of my sister Sue.

This book bring’s together Sue’s poems, haikus and more – some published, some not.  Including personalised poems to celebrate a particular event, person, place or a feeling at a certain time.  With her writing Sue looks to transform the everyday into poetry.

A member of the Mole Valley Poets group for many years, Sue is also the Editor for the group’s anthology publications.  Mole Valley Poets are a Poetry Society Stanza Group in Surrey, meeting monthly to discuss and share poetry in all its many forms and expressions.

I of course, had the privilege of illustrating said above book which was my pleasure and delight!

Some individual Poems with Illustrations to follow in future blogs.
