Sarah Clancy se je rodila leta 1973 v
Galwayu na Irskem. Poezijo je začela
pisati pred dvema letoma. Njene
pesmi so bile objav ljene v številnih
pomembnih irskih zbornikih sodobne
poezije, kot sta Revival (Preporod,
2010) in The Stony Thursday Book
(Kamnita knjiga četrt kov, 2010), kot
tudi v antologijah Behind the Mask
(Za masko, 2010) in Dog’s Singing
(Petje psa, 2010). Njena prva samostojna
pesniška zbirka z naslovom
Stacey and the Mechanical Bull (Stacey
in električni bik) je bila objavljena ob
koncu leta 2010. Istega leta je bila
nominirana za več nagrad za poezijo,
med drugim tudi za prestižno nagrado
Patricka Kavanagha za pesnike,
ki še niso izdali samostojne pesniške
zbirke. Leta 2011 je osvojila veliko
nagrado »Poetry Slam« v okviru literarnega
festivala Cúirt. Izbor njene
poezije bo objavljen poleti 2011 v
pesniški zbirki skupaj še z dvema pesnikoma.
Pripravljeno pa ima tudi že
novo samostojno pesniško zbirko, ki
bo leta 2012 izšla pri založbi Salmon
