I’m a poet with the instincts of Harriet the Spy. If Jack Kerouac had been a teenage girl who grew up to be an author who lived next door to you, I’d have lived in her house, too. Yes, I’m a stenographer of caffeine-fueled nightmares. I am also an editor.
Sara once saw blue ink drip from a ballpoint pen and has been fascinated by the shapes liquid makes since then. She enjoys drinking coffee, gaming her way out of depression, and writing in most forms as long as it is absurd or uncomfortably personal. Floridian by birth and Minnesotan by chance, she currently lives outside Minneapolis with her tall husband and a surviving houseplant. You might be able to reach her at tasteofspacecake@gmail.com.

Francine, A Collection of Dead Ends and Other Oddities is an award-winning (verifiable, not imaginary) 32-page collection of short poem-shaped objects (or, weirdo poetry). Collected and hand-sewn in 2011, "Francine" is now offered as an electronic file. This collection of poems is heartfelt, absurd, and death-defying, all while pushing the boundaries of acceptable e-book formatting and use of caps lock.
The imagery of "Francine" seeks to force universal, unanswered questions such as:
What is love/depression, and how shall I describe it?
When is an appropriate time to sleep with my landlord?
What was that noise?
