Susan Taylor
Susan Taylor farmed in Lincolnshire until she was 30 and now lives with her husband, the poet Simon Williams, on the southern edge of Dartmoor. Her writing draws its moods from the natural world – its shifting patterns and constant energy.
Susan holds a Masters Degree in Creative Writing from Bath Spa University. She runs regular poetry workshops in Totnes, and received a Tarka Country Millennium Award for her collaborative performance project, Reclaiming the Myths of Dartmoor.
