Why poetry?

Find out the answer in God and the Poet at Humanum Review. I also discuss the role of being a poet in my conversion, and my conversion in my poetry.

New poems by Sally Read

​

Gethsemane is one of the poems from my new collection, Dawn of this Hunger, and is up at the Poetry Room. You can read it here.

And On a Photo of John Bradburne for his One Hundredth Birthday, commissioned for the recent centenary of the Servant of God's birth, is here.

​

New Collection: I'm delighted to say that my new collection of poetry Dawn of this Hunger will be out later this year with Angelico Press and Second Spring!

Birds have become a trope in my work lately, and part of that is due to stumbling on an old out-of-print book, "Sold for a Farthing" by Clare Kipps. It's a phenomenal story and I review it at the Humanum Review.
