Susan Edwards Richmond explore en profondeur l'histoire de la communauté Shaker de Harvard, un sujet qui l'a inspirée lors de son séjour en résidence en tant que poétesse au Fruitlands Museum. Son œuvre examine fréquemment l'intersection de l'art et de la nature, ce qui est manifeste dans ses contributions à la revue Wild Apples. Richmond, qui enseigne l'écriture à la Clark University, étudie des thèmes qui tissent un lien entre l'histoire et l'expérience humaine avec un style distinctif et sensible. Sa poésie, parue dans de nombreuses publications, invite les lecteurs à réfléchir sur le monde qui les entoure.
