SBU Alumna Deborah Hauser Publishes Her First Book of Poetry
 |
Deborah Hauser’s days are spent in a state of ennui as she leads a double life akin to the famed poet Wallace Stevens. She is an insurance rep by day but a poet at night. And like Stevens, her “night job” is when she pursues what is meaningful to her: writing poetry. Hauser received her undergraduate degree from Stony Brook in multi-disciplinary studies focusing on political science and sociology in 1999 and then her Master’s in English in 2005. Her book of poetry Ennui: From the Diagnostic and Statistical Field Guide of Feminine Disorders hit the stands this past summer. |
