Americana Folktale is a body of poems picked by NW Florida Poet Laureate Asia Samson. He judged thirteen entries and was impressed by Sarah's poems.

"Great poems need not (and should never) tell you how to feel or what message to take away. It’s always the STORY  that should matter and we take from that what we will. And Americana Folktale is filled with stories. Lots of stories. From 4th of July celebrations to playing in creeks, to becoming of age and remembering lessons from the author’s father like taking the car in for an oil change. You are immediately there, watching the author grow up in this world they’ve painted so meticulously in the poem."
