The poems in A Quickening Star are brought into increasingly vivid
focus line-by-line, each line like a frame in a well-crafted film
opening sequence. This loaded narrative quality of Sue Morgan's
work is particularly evident in the short but harrowing 'Forced
Entry', which begins with "The click-tick/ of a cockroach on a dark
ceiling" and escalates by the tenth line to "he knows/ a hundred
ways to harm without marking". Whether tackling abuse, mental
health or romance, Sue Morgan's poems transport you to a space
where curtains are parting and a quiet music is creeping in. Born
in Lancashire in 1958, Sue Morgan spent much of her childhood in
South Africa, working abroad for many years as a teacher, before
marrying and moving to Northern Ireland where she still lives. She
counts as her mentors Ciaran Carson, Sinead Morrissey and Leontia
Flynn who have all been influential in her development as a poet.
Her submission Let Red Hibiscus Fall won the Venture Pamphlet Award
in 2013 and she was runner up in the Seamus Heaney Award for New
Writing in 2015.
