Sarah Zale holds master degrees in education, English literature, and Rhetoric & the Teaching of Writing, as well as an MFA in Creative Writing / Poetry from Goddard College. She teaches writing at Edmonds Community College and the University of Phoenix in the Pacific Northwest.

Publications of her poems appear widely. As well, she has published a biography, numerous non-fiction articles for magazines and newspapers, and short stories. She is the former Editor-in-Chief of Pitkin Review, a literary journal at Goddard College.

Sarah both reads her work and speaks at writing workshops on topics such as “Poetry of Witness,” “The Wonder of Poetry,” & “Writing for Personal Growth & Social Change.”

Sarah visited Israel and Palestine in November, 2006, on a peace delegation with the Compassionate Listening Project. She is available for speaking engagements about the trip. Scheduled dates can be found on this website. Her present commitment is to educate how art and poetry can create a dialogue about the important issues of our day—a dialogue that can hold both sides of an issue without engendering fear or anger.

She lives and writes near Port Townsend, Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula. Contact her at SarahPoets@olypen.com
