Hubbard, Sue

Sue Hubbard is a poet, novelist and art critic based in the UK. Hubbard has published three collections of poetry with her fourth due from Salmon Press, Ireland in 2020, three novels, a collection of short stories and a book on art. She has written for Time Out, New Statesman, The Independent and The Independent On Sunday. Her poems have been read on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4 and recorded for The Poetry Sound Archive. The Poetry Society's only official Public Art Poet, her poem "Eurydice" was commissioned by the Arts Council and the British Film Institute for the walls of the underpass that leads to the IMAX cinema. This formed part of the regeneration of the South Bank designed by architect Bryan Avery. In 2009, the poem was painted over and then a campaign was launched to restore the poem on the walls of the underpass. Hubbard's novel Rainsongs was published in 2018 by Duckworth London and Overlook NY. Hubbard has described it as 'a novel about my abiding themes: love, loss and redemption'.
