My second collection, The Lock-Picker, is being published in February. There will be an online launch, hosted by Palewell Press – see below for details.
From Palewell Press: launch of The Lock-Picker, Friday 26th February at 7pm.
Sue Proffitt’s remarkable second poetry collection is about living alongside her mother who was suffering from dementia. The Lock-Picker explores the nature of self, memory, identity and what it truly means only to exist in the present moment. The Palewell Press online launch is on February 26th 2021 at 7pm. To receive a 20% launch discount on the book’s retail price, register your interest in attending the launch: enquiries@palewellpress.co.uk.
And, if you can’t make that date and time, there’ll be a second launch of my book on Sunday 28th February at 4pm, when I will be reading alongside Veronica Aaronson, whose latest collection, Emily’s Mothers, are poems exploring adoption: its dreamscapes and bloodlines.
