Her plays A HISTORY OF THE BODY and TINY FIRES were selected as Finalists for the Bay Area Playwright’s Festival, and her poems appear in numerous journals and anthologies. A strong advocate for the arts and literacy, she’s been a featured spoken word artist and workshop leader at universities across United States. Suzara received her M.F.A. in Creative Writing at Mills College in 2006 and teaches at San Francisco State University. More information about the speaker can be found here: www.aimeesuzara.net
