P

oet and visual artist, Susan attends to image: water, sky, faces, flowers, and birds, oh the birds, even rocks and pebbles, wherever beauty heals and anoints. Beauty ever provides when life feels bereft. Susan has traveled to marvelous places worldwide and worked in Kenya with Spring of Hope International. Now Susan and husband Dana live in Spokane WA. Married 47 years, they have four children and 22 grandchildren (and yes, she finds that number rather shocking too).

Susan’s latest book, Hawk & Songbird is forthcoming (March/April 2024). Publications include Slender Warble (2020); In A Strange Land: Introducing Ten Kingdom Poets (2019); and a chapbook Scarab Hiding (2006). Susan is founder and editor emeritus of the journal Rock & Sling.

Rarely disappointed and almost always happy, Susan’s not afraid to look at the dark side. She frequently cries in the goodness of worship. Susan has cancer—multiple myeloma. And for the bounty of this life she gives thanks.
