Praise for Sara’s poetry and performance
“Sara Campos-Silvius is a true alchemist. To see the world through Sara’s eyes is to engage in a journey that’s challenging, thought-provoking, exhilarating, and at times, a little harrowing. Just like life. Once Sara starts spinning her word webs, we are captured and captivated, and we can’t wait to discover what words will be shared next.” — Gerald Osborn
