Sally Sandler

Sally Sandler is a graduate of the University of Michigan and has lived in San Diego for fifty years. She is a wife, mother, grandmother and dog lover, as well as a former docent and historian at the San Diego Botanic Gardens. Her writing is informed by those personal journeys and by a deep connection with the outdoor world.

Her transcendent poems bring fresh insight into the passage of time and its effects on fellow Baby Boomers—their shared experiences of aging, losing their parents, gaining grandchildren, paying more attention, recollecting and reminiscing. A keen observer of the changing seasons in nature, she also honors the humanity in everyday connections with friends, strangers, and even pets. Her poetry has been published in numerous literary journals worldwide.

“The voice of now, with the wisdom of age—The Age.”

“She converts experience into insight, wisdom and beauty.”

“Just the poem I needed to read so I hurt with it; a reminder to me my heart still works.”
