Sandra Sarala left Aotearoa New Zealand 27 years ago for Seoul and via Moscow, Poland, London, southern Germany and rural Bohemia ended up in Berlin in April 2002. A journalist, editor, actor, book maker, musician, singing performance poet and permaculturist with a sideline in archaic east European folk song, her writing and photography intermittently appear here: permaterrailean.blogspot.com. She’s been running Berlin’s chapter of the annual Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day since 2016. Her poetry has won awards in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, Germany and online, and has been published in journals including The Wild Word, Side Stream, Poems4Peace, Percutio, Lyrik-Sammelband der Bibliothek deutschsprachiger Gedichte, The Ultimate Reader of Love for the Book and Radio. She makes frequent foraging and feeding forays to Italy and otherwise lives a luxurious yet primeval life on a small mountain in central Berlin nurturing performance food for the soul.
