Sari Fordham is a writer, professor, and environmental activist whose work spans memoir, essays, and nonfiction. Her debut book, "Wait for God to Notice," published by Etruscan Press, explores themes of displacement, environmental loss, and personal resilience. Her essays have appeared in literary journals such as Chattahoochee Review, Brevity, Green Mountains Review, and Passages North, showcasing her nuanced storytelling and reflective prose.
Fordham's writing is deeply influenced by her global experiences, having lived and worked in Thailand, South Korea, Austria, Kenya, and Uganda. Growing up in Uganda surrounded by jungle - a landscape she later witnessed disappearing - shaped her commitment to environmental activism and her literary focus on ecological and human displacement. She has received prestigious recognition for her work, including a fellowship at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program and a nonfiction grant from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference.
Currently, Fordham teaches creative writing at SUNY Oswego and resides in upstate New York with her family. Her work continues to bridge personal narrative with broader environmental and social concerns, establishing her as a distinctive voice in contemporary nonfiction.
