“Rest in Pieces” by Susan Wilson


White dust under soil
a headstone plot, the final
address for us all


Susan Wilson lives in East London and began writing poetry following the death of her mother in 2017. That loss opened the door to inspiration. Her poems have been published by Lucy Writers, Snakeskin, The Runcible Spoon, Dreich and Areopagus. Prior to the pandemic she was a regular performer at “Spineless Authors”, a local open mic event. Her debut chapbook is “I Couldn’t Write to Save Her Life” (Dreich, 2021).
