Karen Wood schrijft met een diep begrip voor de complexe verbanden tussen mensen en de natuurlijke wereld. Haar werk verkent thema's als groei, verzorging en onze band met de aarde, vaak doordrenkt van een poëtische gevoeligheid en een scherp oog voor detail. Via haar verhalen probeert ze de schoonheid van het dagelijks leven en de lessen die te vinden zijn in de omgeving die ons omringt, vast te leggen. Haar schrijven weerspiegelt haar eigen verankering en de wens om die waardering te delen.
