Her Life Collected

Maiden, woman, crone – three traditional stages in the female lifespan. In Sue Guiney’s Her Life Collected, these stages are re-envisioned for a modern time, examining through poetry the feminine response to love, betrayal, motherhood, art, loss and gain as it changes throughout the decades of an imagined life.

'Sue Guiney's poems evoke scenes from an Audrey Hepburn movie, an American teen movie, and a movie based on a novel by Anita Brookner. In bright images and scenarios she presents us with a life fully observed in the passage of time, unsparingly honest and very engaging.'
Katy Evans-Bush

'Sue Guiney has the art of drawing the audience into her world, and setting your mind off on flights of fancy.'
