Hi. I am Sara Oyela (pronounced oh-yay-lah). I write poetry and other stuff, too, And, I teach, and do all kinds of random handywork.

Currently, I live in metro-Atlanta, Georgia, with my husband and our four children. The neighborhood we live in is fairly wooded, and we have a forest backdrop, and a snaking stream, behind our house. It often feels and looks like we live on an acre-ed, wooded lot of land, but we don’t. We have multiple rose bushes that came with the house when we bought it, and I enjoy them. Also, I am grateful for my husband for cultivating the land we do have, and growing things like turmeric, kale, lettuces, tomatoes, peppers, and various other vegetables.
