Welcoming Saranac Review’s new Editor, Sarah Green!

The fall semester starts next week, Saranac Review is preparing to open for submissions again, and I’m heading off on a year-long sabbatical. I’m happy to leave the magazine in the very talented hands of our new Editor—and SUNY Plattsburgh English Department’s new faculty member—Sarah Green!

A Pushcart-winning poet, Sarah brings to Saranac Review years of teaching, writing, and advocacy. She comes to us most recently from St. Cloud State University and is the author of two poetry books: The Deletions (Editor’s Choice, Akron Poetry Series, 2025) and Earth Science (421 Atlanta, 2016). She is the editor of Welcome to the Neighborhood: An Anthology of American Coexistence (Ohio University Press, 2019), and she’s the founder and host of Emergency Poems, a biannual literary reading series that fundraises for humanitarian aid in the aftermath of global catastrophes. More on this initiative can be found at emergencypoems.substack.com.

While I focus on my own writing projects for this academic year, I’ll be cheering on SR’s new leadership and team; I know they’ll be excited to read your submissions for SR 22. (Stay tuned to our Submittable page for details about our submission windows.)

Please join me in welcoming Sarah to Plattsburgh, and to our special community of artists and writers.

Happy art-making —

Sara S.
