SUSAN McCASLIN
Poet, writer, educator

I have been writing since the age of twelve when I discovered the magic of great books and the power of poetic language.  In graduate school at Simon Fraser in 1969, poetry found me again and became my life’s deep vocation. My “luminous companions” include William Blake and the Romantic poets, Rainer Maria Rilke, Vernon Watkins, and Denise Levertov.  I am drawn to the mystical traditions of many cultures and religions and experience poetry as a musicality arising from silence.
