Greetings and welcome to my website! I'm Sarah A. Rae. I write poetry and occasionally essays, and I've translated poems from Spanish to English. I'm a retired high school educator, and also teach part time ESL to adult learners. The photo shows me in the Lake District of northern England.
Here's my "official" bio as of May 2025:
