Let's make this birthday one to remember.

67 years old (Born on October 09, 1957)

Happy Birthday, Sue Lenier! May your day be filled with poetic charm and dramatic flair—much like the timeless elegance of "Swansongs" that first captured our hearts back in 1982. Your verses continue to resonate, proving poetry truly never goes out of style.

And let's not forget the gentle beauty you brought us with "Rain Following," a collection as refreshing today as when it first graced readers nearly four decades ago. Here's hoping this birthday brings inspiration for yet another masterpiece—or at least enough cake and laughter to fuel your creative genius!

Cheers to you, Sue—forever witty, forever wonderful!
