Sarah Connor

Sarah Connor was brought up in South Yorkshire and lived in North Devon. She spent her working life as a Child Psychiatrist. She had two adult children and one husband. 

Sarah was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008, and in 2012 discovered she had spread to her lungs and bones. She originally started blogging as a way of exploring her feelings about her diagnosis. When she began writing poetry she tried to keep these two worlds separate, but eventually realised that cancer invades everything. 

Writing enriched her life so much. She was published in numerous publications, including Spelt magazine; The Storms; anthologies from Black Bough, Experiments in Literature and Sidhe Press. She has a book out with Black Bough Poetry, The Poet Spells Her Name. She was a regular writer of prompts at dVerse.

Sarah was also one of the co-editors of To Light The Trails.

She was and is at the very heart of Sídhe Press.
