The Bits Left Behind is a captivating new collection of contemporary poetry from debut author Sue Ridgewell, member of the Los Angeles Poets and Writers Collective.

This book is a lighthearted yet honest look at the thoughts we all have that we often leave aside and don’t explore. Sue's poems illustrate the observation of our thoughts. Sometimes they are fun, sometimes dark, or sometimes they just are. They are all part of being human.

The Bits Left Behind has garnered praise for its authentic voice and emotive power. Josh Grapes, Sue’s mentor, and editor, describes the collection as "A refreshing touch of clarity and even whimsy that’s all too hard to come by." Meanwhile, actress and author Cassandra Peterson celebrates The Bits Left Behind as “A collection of poetry that feels like what goes on in your head: sourced in the heart, but never making it to the lips."

Sue collaborated with talented artist Nikki Snyder to complement the imagery and emotion of her poetry. Together they created a visual experience that mirrors the emotional impact of each poem.

This book is an invitation to explore the corners of your own soul, to find resonance in the echoes of shared human experiences. Sue invites you to get your copy today, pause the hustle and bustle of everyday life and settle into your favorite chair, a cup of tea, or your favorite beverage in one hand, and The Bits Left Behind in the other.
