About Us

Sleet hails from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area. We love language and the written word, and we welcome both the beautiful and anti-beautiful.

In another life, Susan cleaned funeral homes and vacuumed around the dead. An unspoken element of respect existed within that job; as the intimate invitation into people's lives is never taken lightly. Susan's work has appeared in The Sun Magazine, Simply Haiku, elimae, .Cent Magazine, Rain Taxi Review of Books and Water~Stone Review. Her paintings have shown in the New England Review, Catamaran Literary Reader, Mud Season and December Magazine.

Irregular Editor
Sleet Lady

Sleet Lady has been nominated 110 times for a Pushcart Prize. Rumor has it Sleet Lady nominated herself for the Nobel Prize, twice. And, she loves to tell the story of how she was at the bar with Hemmingway when he penned his famous one-line short story. Sleet Lady pioneered NASA's new top-secret poetry project, Flying Pearls, recently cancelled due to budget cuts, and is now busy developing a new cryptocurrency, Sleetcoin. Sleet Lady was reportedly on everyone's short list as a VP running mate but declined due to other commitments.
