Saretta Morgan was born in Appalachia and raised on military installations. Her work explores the ecologies and intimacies that materialize in the shadows of U.S. militarization. Her first full-length poetry collection, Alt-Nature (Coffee House Press, 2024), addresses these subjects through the landscape of the Sonoran desert. She is a member of the Belladonna* Collaborative and organizes with the grassroots humanitarian aid organization No More Deaths, and with About Face: Veterans Against the War.
