Suzanne Noguere

Born in Brooklyn and raised on Long Island and in Florida, Suzanne Noguere earned her BA in philosophy from Barnard College. She is the author of the poetry collection Whirling Round the Sun (1996) and the chapbook Hands (1993). With artist Miriam Adams, she created the art/poetry series Leaf Lines. She has also written two books for children, and a novel and a play with James V. Hatch.

Noguere’s poetry is informed by science, especially natural history, and explores corporeality, identity, and the self. Her poems have appeared in anthologies and scholarly books, among them The Poetry Anthology 1912–1977: Sixty-Five Years of America's Most Distinguished Verse Magazine (1978), A Formal Feeling Comes: Poems in Form by Contemporary Women (1994), and Robert Johnson, Mythmaking, and Contemporary American Culture (2004) by Patricia R. Schroeder.

Noguere has received a Gertrude B. Claytor Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America, a Discovery/The Nation Prize, and a University of Iowa Partnership in the Arts award. For many years, she worked in the printing and publishing industries. She lives in New York City.
