About SUSAN

Poetry stalker and word weaver, Susan once wrote micropoetry on Twitter and read at spoken word and poetry events around Sydney as Susan Sleepwriter. She left the city for a beautiful pocket of the Australian countryside where she paints surreal dreamscapes and her chickens. 

Susan also writes short stories and long poems.
