Sharan Strange (born 1959) is an African-American poet, activist, and professor.
[1] She served as a contributing and advisory editor of Callaloo, and co-founder of the Dark Room Collective (1988-1998) and co-curator of the Dark Room Reading Series.
[2] The Dark Room Collective had a mission of forming a community of new African-American writers.
Strange has said: "It was the sustaining practice of writing in community just as much as the activism of building a community-based reading series for writers of color that kept us engaged in collectivity.
Her work has appeared in journals such as Callaloo, The American Poetry Review, Painted Bride Quarterly, Beltway Poetry Quarterly, Agenda, AGNI,[4] Mosaic, and L-I-N-K-E-D, and in numerous anthologies.
