Susan’s first collection of poetry, Creatures of the Intertidal Zone (Cinnamon Press, 2007), was inspired by her journey through Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland in the footsteps of an intrepid eleventh century female Viking. One of the collection’s central themes is the impact of climate change and other environmental issues on the landscape of the Arctic and sub-Arctic.

Reviews:
Here is poetry...driven from within into the shape best suited to its purpose. Internal rhyme and assonance...sing out when the poems are read aloud. This is free verse at its finest...Poems in this collection fly without difficulty…I can still feel their impact on my heart - poet Ann Drysdale
Susan Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their - and her own - emotional topography. I particularly admire her spirited recreation of Gudrid, that enchanting eleventh century Viking heroine - travel writer Sara Wheeler
Susan Richardson's journey to the ice, a voyage of personal discovery, has yielded an intriguing harvest - travel writer and broadcaster Trevor Fishlock
