Poetry. Sarah Hannah seeks perspective on love, loss, and even our place in the universe in a voice that is intelligent, wry and incontrovertibly contemporary. The force of desire, and the force of memory, the macro- and micro-cosmos, nature and art, and the search for a guide: these are among the themes LONGING DISTANCE takes on in carefully crafted free and formal-verse poems.
Sarah Hannah's first book, Longing Distance (Tupelo Press, 2004) was a semi-finalist for the Yale Younger Poets Prize. Her poems have appeared in many journals including Parnassus, The Southern Review, The Harvard Review, AGNI, Gulf Coast, and The Crab Orchard Review. She grew up in Newton, and teaches at Emerson College.
