HONORS AT PCCC
Scholar-In-Residence – Spring 2009

DR. MAXINE SUSMAN

In February 2009, the Honors Program welcomed Dr. Maxine Susman as Scholar-in-Residence. In a special February 25 presentation in the College theater, the author spoke about her recent publications, Gogama (Sheltering Pines Press), a finalist in two chapbook competitions, and Wartime Address (Pudding House), a new collection.

Gogama is about the author’s father as a young Jewish doctor in remote Northern Ontario during the Great Depression of the 1930s. Wartime Address (Pudding House), tells the story of a friend who, as a young woman, was trapped in occupied Paris in World War 2, then escaped to France and North Africa. Dr. Susman’s current work focuses on close personal relationships and on her travels in Arizona, Tuscany, and Korea.
