Saretta Morgan is the author of Feeling Upon Arrival (Ugly Duckling Press) and room for a counter interior (Portable Press @ Yo-Yo Labs). Her work engages ecologies and forms of connectivity that develop alongside processes of U.S. militarization. Over the past decade she has participated in veteran-led organizing with Veterans for Peace NYC and About Face: Veterans Against the War, as well as the humanitarian aid organization, No More Deaths Phoenix, which provides direct support to address the death and suffering of migrants in the Sonoran Desert. Additionally, she has been fortunate to participate in, and learn from, Indigenous-led water protection and food sovereignty work, Black-led community healing initiatives, and trans-led support for detained migrants. She believes in a Free Palestine as part of the broader inevitability of LAND BACK for Indigenous peoples across the earth. Born in Appalachia and raised on military installations, she currently lives on Mvskoke lands in Atlanta, GA where she trains in capoeira and wild bird rehabilitation.
Praise for Feeling Upon Arrival: Entropy, Best Poetry Books of 2018 The precision of language in Feeling Upon Arrival seems to feint, only to land the blow elsewhere. In this text, the language of theory takes on the character of a metaphysics--I think that's what the feint is about. It is a good and hungry almost finding itself in the speaker's body. --Douglas Kearney Morgan's poetic voice is gorgeous and I am greedy for more. --Despy Boutris, The West Review Praise for Saretta Morgan: Saretta Morgan's work doesn't simply continue any one mode of writing, but works to permutate the orderings, genres, and possibilities for how text can function. --John Rufo, Ploughshares
