Susan is currently touring with her latest poetry collection, Half the Human Race, which contains both new poems and a selection from previous books.

Susan said: “I’ll be reading poems from my just published new book, Half the Human Race, mostly from the new work section, but also poems selected from three earlier collections, Striptease, Houses Without Walls and Fair’s Fair. I aim to keep the set varied, with something for everyone as far as possible – but the theme of this book is the lives of women in various guises, particularly women who are too often overlooked, unseen, hidden or silenced.”
