Suzanne Paola
Body Toxic: An Environmental Memoir, written by associate professor Suzanne Paola, was named a New York Times Notable Book of 2001 and won an American Book Award for that year. After its publication, Paola received $20,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts to work on her second nonfiction book, published in 2005. In this new book, A Mind Apart: Travels in a Neurodiverse World, Paola, writing as Suzanne Antonetta, shows how we can learn from those with neurological disorders such as depression, multiple personality disorder, schizophrenia and autism. Paola is also the recipient of the 1998 Brittingham Prize for Bardo, her third book of poetry. A fourth book of poetry, The Lives of the Saints, was published by the University of Washington Press in October 2002.
