Susan Engle began singing and acting during her childhood and has traveled in Europe and the United States as a soloist with various choirs. She earned a BFA in Theater Arts from Denison University in 1972--which included an apprenticeship at the Metropolitan Opera in New York City--and began to work as a stage manager for the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra during that same year. After her twin daughters were born in 1973, Susan began writing songs and poems for children. In partnership with friends and family, she published more than seventy over the years, including several award-winning music CDs such as "Come and Sing" and "Loving Hands" that were written especially for children and families. After fifteen years of publishing poetry with Child's Way, a Bahá'í children's magazine that has since been renamed Brilliant Star: A Bahá'í Companion for Young Explorers, Susan joined the staff of Brilliant Star in 1995. Since her retirement in 2017, Susan has been writing and publishing tiny books. To see them and read her poetry, visit https://IambicNana.com.
