Suzanne Allen was born and raised in Southern California, but she thinks of Paris as her home away from home thanks to the amazing writers she’s come to know there. While studying French as an undergrad in 2005, she stumbled upon The Other Writers Group at Shakespeare & Company, and after completing her MFA, she returned to Paris and served for two years as the Creative Writing Program Director for WICE, a volunteer organization for Anglophones. She has since been honored to serve long-distance as a coeditor for The Bastille. Her poems appear online and in print journals and anthologies such as Tears in the Fence, Spillway, Pearl, Nerve Cowboy, Cider Press Review, Writing in a Woman’s Voice, Not a Muse, Strangers in Paris and Villanelles from Everyman’s Pocket Poetry Series. She has two chapbooks: verisimilitude from corrupt press, and Little Threats from Picture Show Press. She lives in Long Beach, California with her dog, Filou.
