small, but well received, forays into print prior to this publication. Writing has usually taken
the form of letters, diaries and autobiographical short stories. Life in the form of family and
the need to earn always got in the way—until she became so immersed in teaching poetry
to Secondary School adolescents.
It grew on her gradually, this compulsion to put her innermost introspections, yearnings
and concerns into poetry. No subject was too petty or too painful to escape her keyboard.
As semi-retirement brought fewer responsibilities to her busy life, the body of work began
to grow substantially. Hence, the decision to publish her inner world.
She feels it is her legacy. Anyone who has ever given birth, either of the body or mind, will
understand what a trial and labour it is when the gestation period is over and the new entity
is freed from the host. That sums up Susan Christensen’s publication of her poetic works.
It is one more milestone in a journey of lifelong learning. The short stories are fretting in
the background, awaiting their turn.ver menos
