Di Williams uses poetry in “Hermit Crab” to describe her journey towards independence, as well as her mother’s journey towards letting go and allowing Williams to stand on her own two feet. Williams uses a hermit crab as a metaphor to talk about her experience leaving home to study biology and ultimately returning back to her “roots” in Manchester.
