Susan's work has appeared in The SUN Magazine, Todd Boss' Flurry, Simply Haiku, elimae, .Cent Magazine, Off Channel, Rain Taxi Review of Books, and Saint Paul Almanac. Her collaboration Dessert Poems, with Sleet Poet Laureate Jamie Buehner, was recently released by Binge Press; and the upcoming edition of Hamline University's Water~Stone Review will include Susan's interview with the brilliant poet Ralph Angel.
