Frances Daggar Roberts is an Australian poet who grew up in a remote area where she began to write poetry to capture the love she felt for plants, animals and landscape. She lives with her partner in a bushland setting close to Sydney and now focuses on her art and poetry having retired from her psychology work at the end of 2022. As a psychologist, Frances was treating people with significant anxiety and depression. Compassion for those who struggle with such issues has led to the frequent exploration in her more recent poetry of human need, sorrow and resilience. Frances was also a teacher of English and languages and a former professional ballet dancer with the Australian ballet. She selected this range of poems because they significantly capture words and concepts that increased awareness of the many different perceptions that underwrites powerful contributions to the different inspirations in many ideas.
