Welcome
Thanks for visiting Aimee Suzara’s website! Here, you’ll learn about Aimee’s creative work over nearly the past two decades since she began performing as a spoken word artist and activist, which led to her career as a multidisciplinary poet and theater artist and arts educator. Aimee’s debut poetry book, SOUVENIR, was released in 2014. You may get your copy at Amazon or Barnes and Noble and at select bookstores. The poems have been turned into a musical concert and a dance piece, performed nationally and widely studied in colleges and schools. For more info, visit the SOUVENIR page and see these Interviews and Reviews.
Recent Collaboration: “Echoes” of San Francisco. Aimee worked with poets / performers and Youth Speaks, Campo Santo, Living Earth Show and the illustrious orchestra Kronos Quartet on a staged theater-music performance at the Herbst Theater in 2017 that is slated for a potential re-mount in 2020.
