Poet
Sarah is a poet with a life-long interest in the natural world.
She has published four books, designs and delivers poetry courses and mentors other writers.
Sarah’s second full collection, Bloom, (Pavilion Poetry) was shortlisted for the 2023 Ledbury Hellens Poetry Prize for second collections and longlisted in the Laurel Prize for eco-poetry. Her hybrid pamphlet, Pond, was published in spring 2024 and a limited edition pamphlet, Almanac, will be published in 2025. She is currently researching inter-species poetry as part of an AHRC-funded PhD.
“Like a deep Summer meadow, "thrumming in wet light", Bloom teems with wild, restless energy: bird song, flowers, birth and death, the body in its ecstasy and decay. Sarah Westcott's beautiful poems pivot upon a strange dazzling curiosity. They urge us to kneel in the long grass and pay tender attention to the spaces within nature and within ourselves where life blooms.”
