About SUSAN SLEEPWRITER

Susan Sleepwriter writes micropoetry on Twitter and reads at spoken word and poetry events around Sydney.  She also writes short stories and long poems.

Susan’s micropoems offer succinct commentaries on love, pain, identity, nature and the universe. Some to bite into, others to roll on the tongue. Many will resonate and linger long afterwards.


Some of Susan’s micropoems, longer poems, flash fiction, monologues and reviews can be found on this blog - a sand-pit of sorts. Her best work does not play here. It sleeps in her bottom drawer or is yet to be created.

  1. I love Susan's work. What a talent. A unique voice amongst the modern 'trend' of the 'spoken word rap'. Goes to prove that art can be concise and still poignant and powerful. Big things coming.
