Dead of Winter Poetry Night 2025 Featured Poets
This event highlights two Scribbling Club poets. Keep reading to get two know these lovely humans and how to follow along on their writing journey.
Sarah LaRue (she/her)
A queer, diasporic Jewish witch poet who writes from Denver, Colorado. She enjoys all kinds of weather, and long consensual hugs.
She has been published in Listen to Your Skin, Stain'd Arts, and South Broadway Ghost Society publications, and her work has been featured by the University of Washington's Whiteley Center. She has shouted poetry from her Cap Hill balcony, and whispers to her demons in the night.
Sarah has self-published two books of poetry, I'll just hide until it's perfect (2018) and Tend (2020). Her third self-published collection comes out this March, and you can catch her book release event at the wonderful Quince Coffee in East Denver in March 2025.

Cat Jensen (they/them)
A queer, neurodiverse, chronic pain surviving, gender expansive artist, historian and in another life actor and space educator.
Cat first began performing as a poet with brave new voices as a teen, then as a part of the Denver Slam Team and a Colorado Springs slam chapter. Cat has facilitated memoir writing workshops in a haunted Victorian house, performed poetry on the deck of a real life pirate ship, and taught folks of all ages across five U.S. states and three continents.
Cat writes an awful lot about stardust, inhabiting a gender diverse body, connections with the land from living in the American West and falling in love despite all odds. Cat is currently putting together their first full manuscript.
