It’s kind of just one thing after another, isn’t it?  There’s divorce, cancer, mental illness, school shootings, blah blah blah, but there’s also walking the dog in the woods, baking banana bread, reading the next best book you’ve ever read.  Sara Eddy writes poems to balance those things against each other.  But also, Sara is a beekeeper, divorced mother of two remarkable humans, a pianist, an accomplished cook, and companion to a dog and a cat.  She is equal parts introvert and extrovert.  She has published two chapbooks of poetry (Tell the Bees, A3 Press 2019, and Full Mouth, Finishing Line Press, 2020), and has placed many poems in journals on the web and in print.  She lives in Amherst, Massachusetts in a house built by Emily Dickinson’s cousin, and she is the assistant director of the writing center at Smith College.
