Welcome to Poet Camp!
Grownups need play, too! Play allows out muse to speak more clearly, and helps us take risks on the page. The idea of camp also embraces community. Even virtually, I want our camp to be a welcoming place, where we all come together to invite surprise and delight.
I hope to meet you at camp soon!

Hi, I’m Sarah!
I’m a free range librarian and poet, leading workshops online and in the Northern Virginia area.
I love working with poets as a sort of “master gardener,” sharing tools which will encourage their work and writing lives to grow green and lush, and full of blossoms.
My workshops are creativity labs which use readings to represent a variety of voices from our wonderfully diverse community of writers.
I also frequently provide resources from other creative fields and items not normally considered “writerly” to inspire new work and new ways of thinking about the creative process. Feedback in my workshops focuses on the positive and the particular of what’s working, especially in courses generating fresh drafts.
