Linda Karshan, published by Pratt Contemporary Art, and the editor of A Room to

Sue Rose

Born in London, Sue Rose now lives in Kent where she works as a
literary translator. She won the Troubadour Poetry Prize in 2009 and
the Canterbury Poet of the Year competition in 2008. Her debut
collection, From the Dark Room, is published by Cinnamon (2011).

“Sue Rose knows poetry, without doubt…  She has the ability to look at
life, and death, with unsparing clarity, and at the same time with an
empathy that never spills over into sentimentality.  I’ve seldom
experienced such a wonderful first collection.” Robert vas Dias
