Sue Bracken; poet, partner, mother, sister, retired Physiotherapist and Ergonomist, amateur photographer, swimmer. Many of my poems and images deal with water. In a former life I was a fish. I’d write poems under water if I could.

​

I had a childhood allergy to feathers. Lately they have escaped from pillows and morphed into metaphor. Over decades and all at once, my recent poems are exploring fear of flying, escape and variations on the theme of breathing.  I write them in full breath.

​

Sue's work has appeared in GUEST [a journal of guest editors], Hart House Review, Dusie, Touch the Donkey,  WEIMAG, The New Quarterly, Another Cancer Poem Anthology (Mansfield Press), nationalpoetrymonth.com ('23) and elsewhere.

Her first collection of poems When Centipedes Dream was published by Tightrope Books in 2018.
