This week we present poet Suzy La Follette.
Suzanne La Follette hates writing bios about herself in third person but does it anyway. She spent several years doing the slam poetry thing. Was on the Flagstaff, AZ team twice and the Austin Poetry Slam team once in 2005. She made it to the finals stage in 2003 in Chicago and walked away with 6th place. She just got her MFA in poetry and non-fiction at Antioch University Los Angeles. Her non-fiction piece “The Art of Reading Smoke” was nominated by Antioch to represent the school in AWP’s Intro Journal’s Project. She is a firefighter and lives in Austin, TX. She wants to bring the best of the literary world and the slam world together in one website, SWR, that will function like so many on-line literary journals, but better because spoken word is much more exciting! She has been writing a sonnet a day since July 4th, 2013.
