Overview

Sue Tredget began writing several years ago when she took a year off to replenish her spirit after experiencing some troubled times. This collection of poems was written as a companion book to her very personal memoir, Changing Lightbulbs: a journey through anxiety and depression . While Sue's poems were born out of grief, loss and despair, they were written with love, joy and hope, hence the title, Transformation. In writing both prose and poetry Sue discovered the healing power of words and was able to give creative expression to her emotions. Sue is also a language teacher and the author of the children's picture book series, My Colour Collection . She grew up in Northern Ireland and now lives in Perth, Western Australia.

'This beautiful collection of poems takes us on a journey through the chasms and peaks of Sue's battle with depression. While the verses stem from her darkest days, their overall feeling is one of hope and transcendence, as Sue finds solace in the arms of Mother Nature, as she rediscovers the joy of living and finds the courage and inner wisdom to find a way out of the darkness. In sharing her experience, Sue reveals a world in which we can see hope beyond despair, love beyond loss, and happiness beyond depression. After all, it is only in experiencing darkness that we can truly know light.' Samille Mitchell, Founder/Editor in Chief, INSPIRED Magazine
