Sasha Wiseman was born in 1986 in Providence, Rhode Island. Her fiction, poetry, and literary criticism have appeared in Story, The Los Angeles Review of Books, Tyger Quarterly, Pembroke Magazine, and The Southampton Review, which nominated her for a Pushcart Prize in 2021.
At the age of eighteen Sasha moved into the Olneyville artist collective The Dirt Palace, where she lived for five years while renovating the 19th-century library building that housed the collective, working as a live sound engineer at a community art space, and touring the country in noise music and experimental theater projects that performed at venues such as MoMA PS1 in New York and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles.
She went on to earn a BA in Literature from Bennington College and an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis, where she was the Senior Fellow in Nonfiction. Sasha currently teaches Creative Writing at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and lives in Providence and upstate New York with her husband, Lee Clay Johnson, and their dog, Toby.
