Inventing the Fishes

Stewart Sue

Sue Stewart's first collection introduces a poet of lyric intensity who writes with a vivid aural and visual imagination. Her poems effortlessly bridge the real, the surreal and the mythic as they engage with both personal life and the natural world, the commonplace and the extraordinary.
