LISTOWEL: Sue Hubbard


Friday, 31st May, 2013, 1.30pm
The Plaza Centre,
Listowel,
Ireland

The Irish launch of Sue Hubbard's third poetry collection, The Forgetting and Remembering of Air.

"There  is nothing safely aesthetic about these poems, beautifully observed though they frequently are. The watching intelligence reaches so far into the places, situations or works of art that it nearly forgets itself, and maybe desires to. The central block of poems on the tragic deaths of women signal that danger, and make it all the more of an achievement when the closing poems journey to the edge of the Atlantic, almost beyond comfort or habitable land, and come back with a final, hard-won ‘...yes’" —Philip Gross
