Sarah Bitter

A writer based in Seattle, Sarah Bitter grew up in New England but has lived near the Pacific Ocean for two decades (in Taiwan and China, but mostly, Seattle). Interested in the way lives, landscapes and social forces intertwine, Sarah’s creative work observes the decisions and relations required by interdependency. She also researches the use of myth by women in contemporary poetry and translates Chinese verse. Her garden is always slightly overgrown and her dogs are usually good dogs. She received an MFA from the University of Washington in 2021.
