Danielle Sarta

Meet the Author

Danielle “Dani” Sarta is a recent graduate of the University of Central Florida’s Creative Writing MFA program, whose focus is on writing hybrid works of poetry and CNF that highlight the hybridity of her own life and experiences growing up as a queer, Hispanic trans-racial adoptee in Central Florida. They always knew they wanted to be a writer, ever since they played with Barbie dolls and MyLittlePonies, weaving intricate plots of romance, betrayal, and revenge that only a kid with access to the newly budding internet could weave. Poetry came later, when she realized that drama could be explored in line with nature, and that the true tragedies are often found in the smallest of things. Mother to two cats raised from 4 weeks old, Dani can always be found with new pictures of them to show any unsuspecting passerby, and cat fur on her black clothes no matter how much lint-rolling she does.

Though, that, they suppose, is much like writing in itself; some parts of it will always stay with you.
