Who is Sara?

I’m a poet, a novice fiction writer, and an assistant professor of creative writing at the University of Arizona. My first book, Atom City (Finishing Line Press ‘21), is a lyrical grappling with the nuclear legacy of my Manhattan Project hometown. I am still trying to teach myself particle physics.

What’s a poetry vault?

I like that "vault" means both "to spring or to leap” and “underground storage compartment.” It is thus both a verb and a noun; an action and something locatable in space; a wave and a particle. I envision my poetry vault as a collection of things that might jump-start my creativity.
