About the author Susan Noble was born in south London in 1943 and died at the age of 31 in 1974. (See below for a short biography.) Susans output of fiction and poetry in the final ten years of her life was prolific and to mark the fortieth anniversary of her death, Aesop Publications are publishing in July 2014, in hardback, paperback and kindle, six volumes of her poetry and fiction.
Brought up in South London, Susan Noble was the second of three children. Her childhood was enriched by being part of our large and closely-knit Jewish family. Unfortunately stricken by polio (then known as infantile paralysis) in her early years, Susan went through life with a degree of physical handicap which she was to overcome with courage and determination. Educated at Croydon High School, Susan studied English at Somerville College, Oxford. After graduating, Susan worked in London, first at the Royal National Institute for the Blind, dictating books for transcription into Braille, and later at the National Central Library in London, where she qualified as a Chartered Librarian. Susans exceptional sensitivity was reflected in the prolific outpouring of poems that make up The Dream of Stairs, Inside the Stretch of My Heart and Before and After the Darkness. In these intense, haunting poems, she chronicles her personal response to the world around her, while vividly portraying the inner landscape of her mental and emotional struggle. In her two works of fiction, Drifting Between Empty Tramlines: A Chronicle of Bridchester and A Flock of Blackbirds: Selected Short Stories, she explored the social, cultural, intellectual and emotional concerns of her central characters who grapple with a range of issues from mental illness to marriage and motherhood, their relationships, affairs and break-ups, their preoccupations over work and creativity, conflicts between feminism and traditional family roles, and between academia and lived experience.
