She received a B.A. from Goddard College and an M.A. from the University of Colorado, and is a Full Professor at George Mason University, where she has taught since 1988 in the MFA and undergraduate programs. For five years she was Executive Producer of Poetry Theater: An Evening of Visual Poetics, and also served as poetry editor for the short-lived but gorgeously produced journal, "'Practice: New Writing + Art," based in the Bay area.

She also lives in the southern Colorado Rockies.

In Bone Pagoda, Susan Tichy’s third full-length collection of poetry and her first in nearly 20 years, the poet explores the stark and horrifying realities of war and its aftermath through a fierce lyricism, an insistent and bodily music that urges the reader to say these poems aloud.
