THE ELECTRIC PICNIC with SUSAN TAYLOR

Her poetry has been published, her artwork has been exhibited, her voice has been featured, but her most beloved accolades are the moments of real-life connection in response to her authenticity. She finds hope and gratitude in inspiring someone to feel, to question, to learn, to heal, to express, and ultimately to be more fully human.

She loves living in a diverse and friendly neighborhood in San Diego and can be seen walking her dog Duffy to coffee shops and happy hours.. Susan writes poems and short stories, tutors English, and is an avid volunteer with social justice organizations. Susan is the author of The Electric Picnic: Poetry For Nice People And Good Dogs.
