Thin Bones Like Wish-Bones

by Suki, Sue Vickerman

SUE VICKERMAN has previously published two poetry collections, 'Shag' and 'The social decline of the oystercatcher'.  For this new collection she has joined with her alter ego Suki - poet, writer, jobbing life-model - to produce an intriguing 'book of two halves': differing in themes and tone, while sharing a language...

SUKI has one previous poetry collection to her name, 'KUNST', and is famous for her blog at sukithelifemodel.co.uk, where she serialises her trilogy of autobiographical tales and has accrued an international following.

Poet JENNIFER COPLEY  writes of this "Water washes through this volume linking Suki andSue's poems then pulling away like the tide, separating them again. Both halvesof the book resonate with the flora and fauna of place and Scottish landscape,but most of all with the needs and dreams of love. Water brings love but italso dislocates and severs. Emotions eddy and pulse, vulnerable yet strong. Themost beautiful poem in the collection is Three Summers where a couple fail toconceive a child and name their various pets by the names they had chosen fortheir children. This is an invigorating book, the reader never sure of hisfooting."
