“This poet possesses a precision both spare and fierce. And Other Bodiless Powers is cut from the same cloth as the poems of Lorine Niedecker in that they both read a landscape, down to its smallest aspect, and create from these thickets, fogs, and skiffs of snow a human language. When Sarah Aronson zeroes in, the world opens.”

— Andrew Grace, author of A Belonging Field, Sancta, and Shadeland

Sarah's works are also published in The Big Sky Journal, The High Desert Journal, Portland Review, Bellingham Review, Bennington Review, Yemassee, Camas, St. Petersburg Review, Cirque, Boiler, Zymbol and more.
