Sarah Gorham (born March 30, 1954) is an American poet, essayist, and publisher residing in Prospect, Kentucky.
Gorham was educated at the Ecole D'Humanité, an international boarding school in Switzerland and received her MFA from the University of Iowa in 1978 as well as her BA in 1976 from Antioch College.
[3] A memoir, "Alpine Apprentice" (University of Georgia Press, 2017) is a meditation on her time at an international boarding school in the Swiss Alps.
In 1994, Sarah Gorham co-founded Sarabande Books, Inc. with her husband, the poet and playwright Jeffrey Skinner.
The Journal magazine, noted that Gorham's poetry "investigates the difficult, often unsettling nature of family dynamics without self-pity and without pointing fingers"[6] and Publishers Weekly wrote that her work "can also inhabit a dream space that only the bond between a parent and child makes visible".
