Susan Edwards Richmond sa hlboko ponorila do histórie komunity Harvard Shaker, čo ju inšpirovalo počas jej pôsobenia ako poetky v rezidencii v múzeu Fruitlands. Jej tvorba sa často zameriava na prepojenie umenia a prírody, čo je zjavné z jej práce pre časopis Wild Apples. Richmondová, ktorá vyučuje písanie na Clark University, skúma témy, ktoré sa prelínajú históriou a ľudskou skúsenosťou, s osobitým citlivým štýlom. Jej poézia, ktorá sa objavila v mnohých publikáciách, pozýva čitateľov k zamysleniu sa nad svetom okolo nás.
