Brenda Suhan, Staff
Brenda is a junior studying Public Health and Spanish at SLU, but her first passion is writing (and coffee). Brenda’s poetry was published in Kiln’s “Catalyst” issue last year, and this year, several of her poems, as well as her first short story and winner of the Montesi Award, “Still Life,” are featured in this year’s “Oneiric” issue. She starred in and helped produce Kiln’s first stop motion film, “Oneiric.” Her poetry has also been published in Milwaukee Public Museum’s “Objects and Artifacts - The Poetry of the Museum’s Collections,” Creative Communication, the EPA’s “Sense of Wonder” competition, and The Voices Project.
