Hide AdThis is the second collection of poetry Susan has published and it covers a range of subjects from the Christmas story to Strictly Come Dancing and from frosty mornings to dogs in antlers.
She said: “It was great to hold my first poetry anthology, Musings, in my hands in 2021 and I had hoped to have this advent anthology ready for December 2022 but events overtook me.
"When I revisited the poems this year I discovered so much had changed – the memories of Covid times are already beginning to fade, for example – so I had to revisit the selection.
“The poem-a-day format is designed to give readers space to stop and spend a moment of quiet in the frantic preparations for Christmas.
