With joy and depth, Suzi Rapoport evokes the span of our human journey, in the 44 poems in this collection Butterflies at Hope Station.

With joy and depth, Suzi Rapoport evokes the span of our human journey, in the 44 poems in this collection Butterflies at Hope Station. Their ease and seeming simplicity carry them on wings whose colours come to reveal unexpected subtlety and maturity. From poem to poem or from line to line, sensuousness can veer into wry honesty, enchantment into down-to-earth humour, and emotional innocence into emotional experience. Gentle yet sharp, with an essential playfulness shaped by moments of cooler detachment, this butterfly-flight points us generously upwards, towards whatever we may be trying to resolve or celebrate in our brief and beautiful lives in this world.

Autorenporträt
Suzi is an artist and poet who lives in London. She has fed her artistic appetite travelling throughout the world, where along the way she spent time living in Antibes, in Sydney-and the longest spell in the Hollywood Hills. It was here where modelling work, "hanging-out" and much spontaneous partying was balanced out with days of spiritual and creative solitude on a terrace perched high above Woodrow Wilson Drive, reading or writing her poems and journals. It was in Los Angeles that Suzi gave her first poetry readings and she has performed internationally with James Ragan, Jeremy Reed, Michael Horowitz, Labbi Siffre and many others since that time. On returning to the UK she began a long association with the often anti-establishment literary periodical Ambit. Her poems have appeared alongside those of Eduardo Paolozzi, Stevie Smith, Fleur Adcock, Carol Ann Duffy, Peter Blake and many other writers and artists. With a life story that should be a book in itself, one of the achievements of which she is most proud is the securing of a plaque for her friend Hugo Manning-poet, mystic and Editor of The New Statesman. The plaque, created by the sculptor David McFall, was mounted in 1982 on the façade of Manning's last home. In addition to poetry and some of the beautiful people with whom she's shared adventures over the years, Suzi's other great love is painting and she has exhibited at a number of venues across London. She continues to create in both artforms and intends to never stop doing so.
