Poet, Writer, Activist

Ingrid Andersson’s poems are well crafted and passionate at once.
They are rooted in her family, her work as a midwife, her own motherhood.
Her work reveals an identification with and close observation of birds, mammals
including herself and her clients, flowers, trees, the seasons.
These poems offer both insight and joy.
