Susan Myrick
Susan Myrick, retired from a career of teaching high school science, photography and cooking, relishes her precious leisure to pursue a passion for words and the need to use them. Writing has expanded her photographer's habit of capturing into stillness that which compels her to record and preserve. She finds that writing frees her from the tyrannies of time, chance and miserable human beings.
Susan's work has appeared in several volumes of Northwestern University's School of Continuing Studies The Journal and Story Circle Journal as well as in two anthologies, Gifts from Our Grandmothers and Kitchen Table Stories. Her papers for the ninety-year-old literary club, The Winnetka Fortnightly, are stored in the Chicago history section of the Newberry Library in Chicago.
