Susan Wolbarst has been on a roll with publishing for the last couple of years. She won second place in the California State Poetry Society's annual contest in 2022 and tied for second place in 2023. She has been published in many print and digital literary magazines and anthologies neither you nor your listeners have ever heard of, in the U.S., Canada, and Germany. One of her most exciting achievements was to be short-listed for the Fish Poetry Prize, judged by former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins. The winner gets to read at a literary festival in County Cork, Ireland.
