Join the Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts as we present four exceptional local and regional poet alums of our residency program. Our two local poets, nicole v. basta (’24) and Clare Jones (’22) are well-known in Ithaca for their respective community-building practices and collaborations. nicole is the author of two chapbooks, and Clare is the recipient of fellowships from the Fulbright Program and Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Our two regional poets, Liza Flum (’17) and Sarah Giragosian (’21), both have newly published full-length collections. Liza, based in Geneva is celebrating the publication of Hover (Omnidawn, 2015), while Sarah, based in Corning, recently published Mother Octopus, co-winner of the 2024 Halcyon Prize (Middle Creek Press.) All four poets are widely published and have received numerous national awards and honors for their writing.
