Sarah Sgro received her Ph.D. in English from SUNY Buffalo, where she was a Judith Kerman Fellow in Technology and the Humanities and co-led the Palah Light Lab for queer and feminist new media. Her research examines poetry, digital media, and other creative-critical practices that reappropriate forms of "digital waste" ranging from dead links to data exhaust. Sgro wrote the poetry collection If The Future Is A Fetish (YesYes Books 2019) and received her MFA in poetry from the University of Mississippi. Her work has appeared in Annulet: A Journal of Poetics, Peach Mag, and The Offing. Sgro is currently drafting her debut novel Dead Links, which explores three characters’ fraught digital-physical attachments as they navigate online and irl landscapes of grief, groupthink, and self-discovery.
