Miriam Sagan is the author of 30 published books, including the novel Black Rainbow (Sherman Asher, 2015) and Geographic: A Memoir of Time and Space (Casa de Snapdragon, 2016). She founded and heads the creative writing program at Santa Fe Community College. Her blog Miriam’s Well (https://miriamswell.wordpress.com) has a thousand daily readers.
Miriam has been a writer-in-residence in two national parks, at Yaddo, MacDowell, Colorado Art Ranch, Andrew’s Experimental Forest, Center for Land Use Interpretation, Iceland’s Gullkistan Residency for creative people, and another dozen or so remote and unique places. Her awards include the Santa Fe Mayor’s award for Excellence in the Arts, the Poetry Gratitude Award from New Mexico Literary Arts, and A Lannan Foundation residency in Marfa.
In her second microchap collection, 'Ikisan Station,' Miriam tells us, "These poems were written earlier this year when I was in residence at Kura Studio, Itoshima, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. As part of the creative duo Maternal Mitochondria I also did a text installation of video and suminagashi in an ancient grain silo and a geocache pathway of haiku inside teapots in a garden."

Selection barely a drop
or two of rain I sit on the wooden bench reading a book which of necessity is not of this time and place a fat slice of rainbow without footed ends lies like an odalisque across Lama Mountain • Miriam Sagan © 2016
