Sarah Skwire fell hopelessly in love with John Donne at age 14. She has been writing poetry since she learned to print when her major subjects were puppies, candy, and the unbearable suffering of grade school. These days she uses a computer instead, and is preoccupied with sex, gardens, family life, and poems about poems. She has published work in a wide range of small poetry journals, in The New Criterion, and in the Vocabula Review. Other publications include academic work on subjects from 17th century poetry to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a college level writing textbook that has just reached its 11th edition.

For this Valentine's Day reading, she's promised to read poems about love, sex, tomatoes, and killing people with icicles because winter's much too long.
