"As a blind writer, I’m struck by both the independence, and the access to writing communities that technological advancements have afforded me."

Susan Glass’ new book of poetry, The Wild Language of Deer, won the Elyse Wolf Prize offered by Slate Roof Press. Her poems have appeared in Snowy Egret, The Broad River Review, Birdland Journal, Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California, Honoring Nature: An Anthology of Authors and Artists Festival Writers, and elsewhere.


A California resident, she held a residency at the Cummington Community of the Arts in Massachusetts and received her MFA from the University of Massachusetts/Amherst. After teaching many years at San Jose State University and West Valley Community College, she now co-edits the Blind Californian Magazine for the California Council of the Blind, and the AABT Briefs newsletter for the American Association of Blind Teachers.


She and her husband John, who both serve on the board of Vista Center, share their home with her guide dog Omni, whose combined work ethic and silliness ensure that all three remain irreverent, active, and loved.
