Overview

Blue Amen is a collection of narrative poems sequenced by imagery, ideas, and the poet's life experiences. It is a mixture of some fact and quite a bit of fiction.

Description

These poems reflect Susan Mallory's keen eye for detail. Ideas and imagery connect a wide range of subject matter: music, art, animals, birth and death, love and aging. She captures the peculiarities of people, places, and objects, managing in some of the poems to obliquely impart a little wisdom.

She received an MA in Foreign Language from Memphis State University and an MFA in Creative Writing from Spalding University. She and her husband live in Memphis, Tennessee.
