Susan Smith Nash was born on April 2, 1958, in Ardmore, Oklahoma, United States, to Earl Winston and Mona Margaret Smith.
In 1981, Susan received a Bachelor of Science in Geology, from the University of Oklahoma. In 1985, she received a Master of Arts in English, and a Doctor of Philosophy in English in 1996.
Nash began to write during her last few years of high school, inspired by an English class that introduced her to many works of classical literature. While prose was her strongest suit, poetry grasped her attention immediately due to its meditative quality, and her earliest verse was greatly influenced by Romantic poetry penned in the seventeenth century by such writers as John Donne.
Nash would continue her enthusiasm for poetry in college where, attending the University of Oklahoma as a geology major, she continued to experiment with verse in her journal writing. It was not until after the birth of her son, Michael, and her decision to return to college for advanced degrees that Nash made a commitment to take her creative writing seriously.
During the 1990s, with several published works to her credit, Nash became heavily involved in international travel, as she noted “with the goal of promoting cultural, educational, and commercial exchanges in our newly globalized economy.” Her travels have included such countries as Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Argentina, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Paraguay, the last which she visited over fifteen times in the late 1990s.
From 1997 to 2004, she was a Director of Engineering & Geosciences Continuing Education at the University of Oklahoma. Her current position is College Programs Director at the University of Oklahoma College of Continuing Education in Norman, Oklahoma. From 2003 to 2007, she was an Associate Dean at Liberal Arts Excelsior College.
Since 2007, Nash has been a director at Victoria Resources, where she does the resource exploration and development, administration, including SEC reporting, investor relations, business development. Also, she does the virtual Learning Environment design / e-learning services, instructional videos / scripts / course development. Her areas are leadership, writing instruction, petroleum geology, innovation & new technologies.
Since November 2008, she has been working as Director of Innovation and Emerging Science and Technology and a Director of Education & Prof Development at AAPG.

Quotations:
“Fear is something I will always have to stalk & kill. But, the more I do it, the more the fear springs up in my/ gut and my veins. I know myself, and I know the way it goes - my paranoias multiply like rodents in a vast prairie where there are no natural predators.”
“I see that one of the surest ways to cultural understanding is via the arts and through promoting the poetry of women and other marginalized groups within a country.”
Nash spent many summers in New England, where her family had lived for generations. Despite the beauty of the area, remote Vermont and the family ghosts that populated the place overwhelmed Nash, and this preoccupation with the past - primarily the transgressions of those who shaped it - would continue to dog her into adulthood.
On February 12, 1982, Nash married David Lee Nash, but they divorced in September 1989. Susan has one child, Michael.
