About CastlesInTheSky

Sarah is a 13 year old girl living in England, who writes as she breathes, worries 24/7, and bears frightening ressemblance to a rake. According to her parents she needs to become 'a normal teenager' by 'getting a life' and ceasing to write 'nonsensical fairytales.' Sarah's lifelines are old movies, tea, and depressing classics. She has two fictional infatuations: Gone With The Wind and Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Sarah should have been born in the golden age of the 1800s, where she could have isolated herself in a castle to write obessively, and frequented dashing gentlemen in top hats.

The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
