A student of her poetry class, I gained a new appreciation of the art form, improved my writing skills, and came away with four original poems. Sarah is one of those rare individuals who can excel at a craft and teach it as well. Sarah is a total pro—professional, warm and a joy to work with.” –Teri Scheinzeit

“What a wonderful experience this has been, being a student in Sarah’s poetry workshop. I’ve written poetry most of my life, but Sarah inspires poetry that has taken me down new paths.  She creates an environment that is safe and encourages daring.  She balances the study of other poets with discussing our own poems and making them better.  Last but not insignificant is the fact that she is a delightful and supportive person. I look forward to her next workshop.” –Ellen Azorin
