Sue Wood, Scotland

Introducing  : Sue Wood  is inspired by nature. She is a retired lecturer from the University of the Highlands and Islands and for the last thirty years has lived on the Isle of Skye. It is there that she gardens and grows food and has taken up re-wilding on her croft. The unique environment of the ‘Misty Isle’ also provides her with plenty of opportunities to walk and reflect on the rich variety of wildlife, scenery and weather. She records her experiences with a camera and notebooks. She then develops these in her studio into poetry and artwork. 

You can see the results of her insights and inspirations in the books she has had published: ‘Isle of Skye Timeless Shores’, ‘Wild Isle Haiku’ and ‘Oran Uisge- Wildflower Meadow’ (Grosvenor House Publishing Ltd). Sue’s poems have been published in ‘The Frame Magazine’, ‘The Shadow Pond Journal’, ' The haikuNetra Journals 1.1 & 1.3, Japanese Society- Haiku Corner and 'Mother Nature Burns journal'- Sunday Morning at the River.
