Some poets contribute to the poetry community by hosting a reading series or founding a small literary press or website, or by curating literary events, or running workshops, or editing anthologies, or supporting emerging poets. Now meet Southern California poet Sarah Thursday who has done all those things in a span of five years while working a full-time teaching job and producing her own full-length collection, All the Tiny Anchors, (Sadie Girl Press, 2014) and three chapbooks. While her poetry advocacy has been most strongly felt in the Long Beach poetry scene, she reads and participates in events throughout the region.
