Sue is available for appearances, to meet with book groups and run workshops.
Maiden, woman, crone – three
traditional stages in the female lifespan. In Sue Guiney’s Her
Life Collected, these stages are re-envisioned for a modern time, examining
through poetry the feminine response to love, betrayal, motherhood,
art, loss and gain as it changes throughout the decades of an imagined
life.
'Sue Guiney's poems evoke scenes from an Audrey
Hepburn movie, an American teen movie, and a movie based on a novel
by Anita Brookner. In bright images and scenarios she presents us with
a life fully observed in the passage of time, unsparingly honest and
very engaging.'
Katy Evans-Bush
'Sue Guiney has the art of drawing the audience into her
world, and setting your mind off on flights of fancy.'
