Ordinary Fissures
(2024, Kelsay Books)
Full-length book of poems about themes ranging from illness and wellness, divorce and starting over, child-raising, raising hell, skinny-dipping, and memory. Narrative, lyrical, and imagistic poems, arranged in three sections.
“Sara Eddy’s Ordinary Fissures is a splendid collection: dark, comic, loving, sad, disappointed, vulnerable, and—yes—confessional. These are poems both learned and filled with the language we speak, poems painfully, lyrically honest as one after the other they sing of the uncertainties attendant upon getting through each day. “
—Paul Mariani

Chapbook of poems about food, eating, hunger, desire, and all the associations we hold with food. Written with the support of a grant from the Kahn Institute for the Humanities at Smith College, while sitting on a grant panel of scholars researching foodways. Cover art ("Vanitas") by Timothy McDowell.
“What Eddy offers us here is a globe-trotting, memory-packed, omnivorous bounty of poems that interrogate appetite in all its forms. Through the full-mouth music of Eddy’s language, this book explores family, intimacy, what nourishes and sates, and what it truly means to break bread.”
—Matt Donovan

Map-fold art book produced by A3 Press, which makes exquisite “Writing Maps” for writers and readers. Contains 10 poems about bees and beekeeping, plus photographs of my own bees and beehives.
“Sara Eddy's Tell the Bees is so deceptively quiet, you barely notice you've been drawn into a multi-layered world of creation, creativity, sorrow and a profound connection to the workings of the natural world.”
—Shaun Levin
