Between the Words

One of the many things that delights about Sue Lewis’s work is that each new collection pushes the boundaries of language and integrity further. The writing is lucid, the metaphors are fresh, the effect is to take us to interior landscapes where there is not certainty but the constant liminality of life in process, the questions and doubts we contend with, the moments of compassion alongside the bittersweet ache for the lives that might have been, while tending to the life that is. There is not a false word in this exquisite collection as it makes its ‘risky/tender pilgrimage.’
