poems of earth and soul
by Ruth Beighton
The first collection of poems, of starlight, was written over the first few seasons of meeting, and deepening with someone who is just your person.
It is the journey of dipping in and out of love and all its mystery - sometimes wading in treacle, sometimes joy, oftentimes heartbreak and deep self-discovery, of hope and healing, of tenderness and fury, but mostly – a journey of what lies in the one's heart.
Ruth lives in the South West of the UK and is profoundly influenced by the landscape and nature around her which fuels the creative way she creates poetry that serves as both mirror and balm for human experience.
Ruth write poetry that explores the tender intersections of love, loss, and the sacred everyday. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and the quiet moments that shape us, her collection of work offers readers a compassionate companion through life's most tender passages. Offering solace and recognition to those navigating grief and seeking connection. Her gentle, contemplative approach has been shaped by poets like Mary Oliver and Rupi Kaur, whose ability to find the profound in the simple continues to influence her own approach to verse.
