English Teacher Sarah Levine Nominated For Massachusetts Book Award

In addition to teaching 91大神 Northampton students about literature, poetry, and writing, faculty member Sarah Levine is an accomplished author and poet in her own right. Recently, Levine鈥檚 work was honored by making the long list for the Best Poetry Book of the Year in the Massachusetts Book Awards.

Levine鈥檚 work is titled and was published by Driftwood Press in February 2024.

The book is one of 12 finalists on the Poetry long list. Final winners will be announced in September, with a celebration for the winners at the State House later this fall.

Levine鈥檚 book wrestles with love and grief, and is told through multiple perspectives. Author Chen Chen, who wrote the forward for the collection, said of it: 鈥淪ome of its tanginess may leap off the page and startle your fingers. Some of its honey may stick to your knuckles. Let it.鈥

The honor is also the latest for Levine. In 2023, Levin was selected as a Fulbright Award winner.
