Susanna Galbraith’s debut collection, morsels (Macha Press) is a formally ambitious multi-sequence debut collection. The title series ‘morsels’ explores the ways language and its absences shape our relationships with one another, with natural environments, and with human and animal bodies. Across three interconnected sequences, Galbraith makes sensitive yet tough-minded forays into unstable, ever-evolving territories: love, death and memory, loss and anxiety, isolation and transformation, and the craft of poetry making. Join us to launch this unique collection.
