Sarah Thursday is a music obsessed, Long Beach poetry advocate, who has been writingpoetry since she was very young. In 1992, she made her very first chapbook and continued withfour more up through 2001. She took about ten years off from poetry and focused all hercreative energy into teaching. After a series of major life events, she began writing again and forthe first time, connected with the local poetry community. Through a bi-monthly workshop calledThe Poetry Lab, she was inspired to begin a website to feature local Long Beach poets andpoetry events, called Cadence Collective. The website provided opportunities to connect toother poets in her community and to co-host a monthly reading with G. Murray Thomas, called“2nd Mondays Poetry Party“. In 2014, she founded Sadie Girl Press to explore her otherpassion: layout and design of print books. She has since published many chapbooks andanthologies, incorporating writers and artists she loves. She has been published in many fine journals and anthologies, interviewed by Poetry LA, and received a 2017 Best of the Netnomination for “To the Men who told me my Love was not enough.”
