Sue Rose was born and brought up in North London and now lives in Kent, where she works as a literary translator from French and Italian. With a great-grandfather who was a Russian Rabbi and ancestors in the Polish and Hungarian farming communities, she is East European in background as well as no doubt in temperament. She has been married for 7 years, has two cats, three nieces, three stepchildren and five stepgrandchildren. She has been writing poetry for many years and, in 2004, completed an MPhil in Writing at the University of Glamorgan under Gillian Clarke, for which she produced a full-length collection and a thesis on the theory and practice of the translation of poetry. Her work has appeared in a variety of magazines including Connections, Encounter, Interpreter’s House, London Magazine, Poetry London, Orbis, The Rialto, Seam and Smith’s Knoll and in various anthologies – Of Eros and of Dust and As Girls Could Boast (1992 & 1994, Oscars Press), My Mother Threw Knives (SLN 2006) and, most recently, Images of Women (SLN/Arrowhead Press, 2006). She is now on a quest to find a publisher for her first collection. She enjoys performing her work and has read at venues such as the Voice Box, the Poetry Café and the Troubadour Coffeehouse in London. She is a co-founder of Scatterlings with two other Kent-based poets, a group formed in late 2004 to give readings in the Southeast and beyond. Performances include their launch at Canterbury’s Marlowe Theatre, festival appearances at the Nevill Gallery in Canterbury and a benefit event in the crypt of Canterbury Cathedral to raise money for the Pilgrims’ Hospices. |
