Susan Rouillier

Susan Rouillier is the author of South Mobile Birds – Poems and Images from the Alabama Gulf Coast, released in June 2021, reaching #1 in Nature Poetry on Amazon on June 29, 2021. She is also the author of the well received history, South Mobile, 1699-2018. Because of this contribution, “Susan Rouillier Day” was declared by the Mobile City Council in June, 2018.

Ms. Rouillier has been drawn to nature all her life. At the University of Melbourne, she was a Commonwealth Scholar and did invertebrate research at Wilson’s Promontory in Australia. She graduated with a Biology degree and taught in Australia, Japan, and the United States. Rouillier set up a joint ecological project between Meiji Gankuen High School in Kitakyushu, Japan and The School of Math and Science in Mobile, Alabama, funded by the Fulbright Master Teacher Program. Today, Rouillier lives by the water on Mobile Bay where she paints, writes, and gently stalks birds for photographs, mostly in South Mobile, but also on Dauphin Island, Australia, and Central and South America.

Ms. Rouillier is appearing in an upcoming Hearst-Foundation documentary on Southern artists. She will also be a guest speaker in April sponsored by a state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
