Sarah Gridley received her M.F.A. from the University of Montana, where she was named the 1998 Richard Hugo Scholar and also won the 1999 Merriam Frontier Award. Her poems have appeared in Jubilat and the Beloit Poetry Review, among other journals. Her most recent book is Weather Eye Open (U. of California P., 2005)
Of her work, Cole Swensen has written: "Sarah Gridley's poems progress by long, association leaps that leave luminous trails behind them -- and that always land on sure and surprising ground. Her language is pure jewel, and yet it manages to bind together the most disparate things -- windmills, lilies, sand fumes, milk spray -- and make them radiate presence. These are intelligent poems that think with the whole body."
