Sarah Joy Thompson is a Filipina-American author, whose poetry invites readers to reflect on love of family, the thrill of discovering one's true self, and the circle of life—namely our connection to nature. Her poems have appeared or are forthcoming in numerous journals, anthologies, and publications. Thompson is the author of two poetry collections: The Everyday, the Mundane, and the Brave (Finishing Line Press, 2019) and DRIVING INTO BLACK MOUNTAINS (FlowerSong Press, 2020). Thompson is presently pursuing an MFA in Creative Writing at the University of Texas at El Paso, where she hopes to grow as an author.
