Notes from a Nomad — Snyder '77

By Sarah Dickenson Snyder, Class of 1977

Poet Sarah Dickenson Snyder moves between worlds as traveler and teacher — from the crowded streets of Hanoi, to Istanbul, Eleuthera, Machu Picchu, and Rwanda — where a woman sets down a heavy water jug, the scar on her arm "a cracked map of what remains." Snyder's carefully observed "earthbound stories" teem with life as her lyrical voice plumbs the "unsayable" words, dust, and the "billion trillion specks of light beyond our reach."
