Susan Zegarsky is an award winning British-Polish writer and visual artist who writes fiction and poetry in French, English, and Arabic. First a classical pianist and graphic designer directing her own design studio, Susan then spent years traveling the world from her home in Germany. She came to the United States to study world cultures, remained as a language specialist, and now writes and paints full time from her studio. 

Her work as a writer and artist reflects her exploration into the interactions between consciousness, nature and the metaphysical. She delves into the psychological effects of expatriation, immigration, isolation, motherhood, abuse and grief, and our human connection to nature and the supernatural. A student of Hermetics, she is an aficionado of horror, cabinets of curiosity, languages living and dead, gothic literature, and the arcane. 

Her poetry has been featured in Santa Clara Review, Hyacinth Review, Fahmidan, The Madrigal, Quail Bell Magazine, Grim & Gilded, The Rush, Moss Puppy Magazine,  Prismatica, Coffin Bell Journal, The Slake, Ink in Thirds, Lynx, Autumn Sky, Cauldron Anthology, The Horror Magazine, and additional literary journals with new work always forthcoming.

She is the author of  the upcoming novel, The Vuylk, the poetry collections Thirsty Earth and Exsanguinarium, and the Chapbooks The Devil's Hour, Phantom Season, White & Winter, and the Autumn Country, collected from her live poetry series with new series and editions forthcoming.

Susan encourages the exploration of forms of poetry like the ghazal, gogyohka, and sijo, and has herself invented the form of the septine. She also writes under a pen name.

Her work can be found on her website www.zegarsky.com where she seasonally posts daily live poetry series and she is @ouisuzette on social media.
