Sue Leigh

Sunday 28th September - 17.00

"I want to make poems which are places so that the reading of the poem resembles inhabiting, or at any rate contemplating, the place itself." Sue Leigh will be reading recent poems inspired by time spent on the Uists and Barra, islands off the west coast of Scotland. There will also be poems that inhabit places closer to home. After the reading, there will be refreshments. Sue Leigh has had two collections of poetry published, Chosen Hill and Her Orchards. Simmer Dim, a pamphlet of poems inspired by time spent on Shetland, was published recently by Evergreen Press. She teaches at the University of Oxford and runs her own poetry course, ‘Conversations in Poetry’.
