Suzanne Rodgers Bush (1933-2011) graduated from Woman's College of the University of North Carolina, now UNC Greensboro, in 1955, with a degree in English. While at the college, she was a member of the Coraddi literary magazine staff and participated in the Arts Forum. After graduating, Bush moved to Washington, DC, where she taught school, served as a staff member on Capitol Hill, and volunteered at several organizations. Bush talks about growing up in Scotland Neck, North Carolina, her reason for attending Woman's College, and her dislike for teaching in an urban setting. She mentions the excellent quality of the education at Woman's College and the outstanding professors in the Department of English, such as Marc Friedlander, Lettie Hamlett Rogers, Peter Taylor, and Robert Watson. Bush discusses her favorite professor Randall Jarrell's teaching method, poetry, reading style, and shyness, as well as his love of T.S. Eliot poems. She also describes the influence Jarrell had on her poetry analysis, poetry appreciation, confidence during class discussions, study habits, and writing style. Bush recalls the loving relationship between Jarrell and his wife, Mary Jarrell, and meeting Saul Bellow, Robert Frost, and Flannery Connor during her involvement with the college's Arts Forum festival.
