| Description | This month’s online presentation welcomes Suzanne Edison, Brenda Asterino, and Cindy Veach.
Suzanne Edison writes often, but not exclusively, about the intersection of illness, healing, and medicine. Her first full length book, "Since the House Is Burning", was published by MoonPath Press in 2022. Her chapbook, "The Body Lives Its Undoing", was published by Benaroya Research Institute in 2018. Poetry can be found in: Bracken, Whale Road Review, Mom Egg Review, Michigan Quarterly Review; JAMA; HEAL; Persimmon Tree; SWWIM; Intima: A Journal of Narrative Medicine; and elsewhere. Her work can be found in several anthologies including: "Face to Face: Women Writers on Faith", "Mysticism and Awakening" and "The Healing Art of Writing, Volume One". Suzanne is a Hedgebrook 2019 alum and teaches writing workshops through UCSF Chronic Illness Center in San Francisco and at Richard Hugo House in Seattle, where she lives with her husband and two cats.
Brenda Asterino lives on Lopez Island, Washington. She worked as a private and public educator for nearly twenty-five years when life was forever changed by a car accident. Her education includes an AA in Humanities, BS in Biology, and MA in Education, along with many years of training in parapsychology, Energy Work and Body Work.
Cindy Veach is the author of "Her Kind" (CavanKerry Press) a finalist for the 2022 Eric Hoffer Montaigne Medal, "Gloved Against Blood" (CavanKerry Press), a finalist for the Paterson Poetry Prize and Massachusetts Center for the Book ‘Must Read,’ and the chapbook, "Innocents" (Nixes Mate). Her poems have appeared in the Academy of American Poets Poem-a-Day, AGNI, Michigan Quarterly Review, Poet Lore and Salamander among others.
