Sue Hubbard

Poet

As a poet Sue Hubbard explores both the dark and the light within human experience. Through an evocation of the perceived and actual world and the careful attention to the detail of things - be it art or nature, the incidental or the everyday – she attempts to give voice to our deepest emotions. Her subjects are those of love, loss and memory. She writes of our vulnerabilities, so often concealed, and through their disclosure, suggest the possibility of renewal.

Working within the visual arts Sue Hubbard is interested in blurring the boundaries and disrupting the conventional contexts in which poetry is usually found. Her work as Public Art Poet with the Poetry Society, her commission from the Arts Council and the BFI to create a poem for the new IMAX cinema at the South Bank and as writer-in-residence at the De La Warr Pavilion during ArchiTEXT week have all provided contexts in which poetry could respond to public and architectural spaces and be taken from the confines of the white page to be placed in a physical arena.
