Susanna Watts Livres

This collection of poems by Susanna Watts explores the world of insects and their activities. The title poem, 'The Insects in Council', is a satirical piece that humorously imagines a gathering of insects to discuss their social and political issues. The other poems in the collection continue this theme, using insects as a lens through which to examine human behavior and society.
