Current Writer-in-Residence: Susan Rudy

Susan Rudy is a writer and academic based in London. Her writing and research focus on what poetic and experimental writing can teach us about gendered experience. Through her practice, she aims to create space for voices that are often silenced or split, especially those navigating complex relationships to gender, care, and creativity.

Her recent work includes Consequences (above/ground press, 2026), part of the longer Hand Over project, and work in progress on the chapbook YOU. She is also Professor Emerita at the University of Calgary and an Honorary Senior Research Fellow at Queen Mary University of London. From 2021-2024, she taught creative non-fiction and poetry at Birkbeck University of London.

Susan thanks the Banff Centre for the Arts and Creativity (2024) and Historic Joy Kogawa House in Vancouver (2026) for supporting her creative practice through their writing residency programs.
