Susan F GlassmeyerSusan F. Glassmeyer has been imagining poems since childhood when her Kentucky grandfather explained the language and meaning of train whistles. In a Michigan schoolhouse, a young nun woke her up to the rich world of storytelling. And in Ohio, a wiseart teacher taught her how to see. Susan paid attention, took notes, whittled poems out of paragraphs, and along the way came to understand these things are inseparable from the life of her body. Publications include two chapbooks: Body Matters (Pudding House Publications, 2010) and Cook's Luck (Finishing Line Press, 2012). Individual poems have found homes in these and other journals: Rattle, Naugatuck River Review, Sixfold, Pine Mountain Sand and Gravel, Dunes Review, The GHAZAL Page, Gratefulness.Org, and Ohio Poetry Association anthologies. In a decade-long project, she created April Gifts for National Poetry Month, sharing with readers her annotated presentations of select poems by 300 poets. She serves as co-director of the Holistic Health Center of Cincinnati where she works as a somatic therapist and Feldenkrais(R) practitioner, helping people restore the poetry of presence and movement in their lives and bodies.
