Abstract
In a deeply troubled world, Susan Ioannou asks how can a poet "Make it beautiful", as her Muse insists. Looking for Light attempts to answer – travelling through place and time and other arts. Turning inward, the poems blend spirituality, nature, and the mysterious forces that brought us into being and invisibly sustain us, body and soul. The final section ponders transformation – both physical and emotional – as ageing's challenges drive a larger vision of what may come after the inevitable happens.
