More About the Author
Product Description
Review
Here then is a poet who serves as an antidote to the chirpy shalllow materialism of much of our culture, one whose most apparent quality is an honesty about the difficulties of living in the early 21st century. (Martyn Crucefix Magma )
Sue Hubbard brings passionate and prophetic visions into the sphere of family life… An accomplished art-critic, Hubbard can convey the pictorial in vivid and startling language. (Peter Lawson Jewish Chronicle – The Weekly Review )
It is hard to get poems ‘right’ about the death of a close relative, lover, or friend; mawkishness and sentimentality are dangers as is indulgent reminiscence and nostalgia. Hubbard avoids all of these with her pared down lines and stark scene setting, ending with startling directness with a powerful acknowledge of nature’s indifference to the matter of our small deaths. (Richard Dyer Ambit )

Review
Sue Hubbard, as you would hope of an art critic, pays close and sensitive attention to the appearances of things. At the same time, she has a feeling for what is going on underneath. So the world of her poems, in which phenomena are noted with great precision, seems at once stable and highly unstable. Under its exact surfaces much is fluid, shifting42 and uneasy. She may delight in appearances but under all there is the trouble of an unsettled grief. ‘Loss,’ she writes, ‘goes on and on.’ Her poems will never evade that fact; but bravely, by the act of memory and by insisting on the continuing beauty of life in the real world, they answer back. (David Constantine )
