Jane Sag­i­naw is the author of Because the World is Round (Deep Vel­lum, 2022), a mem­oir recount­ing an around-the-world fam­i­ly trip in 1970 with her moth­er who used a wheel­chair because of polio paral­y­sis. Her chap­book, NOT I (Fin­ish­ing Line Press, forth­com­ing 2027), probes the porous nature of per­son­al iden­ti­ty in the con­text of his­tor­i­cal trau­ma, join­ing per­son­al and per­sona poems in con­ver­sa­tion across gen­er­a­tions and oceans. She is a grad­u­ate of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Cal­i­for­nia, Berke­ley, and earned a law degree from the Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas, Austin and a PhD in Lit­er­a­ture from The Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas, Dal­las. Jane was a tri­al lawyer in Dal­las with Baron & Budd and served, under Clin­ton, as a Region­al Admin­is­tra­tor of the EPA. In 2006, she was award­ed Trail Lawyer of the Year by Tri­al Lawyers for Pub­lic Jus­tice for her envi­ron­men­tal work. Her poet­ry and essays have appeared in Athenaeum Review, Image Jour­nal, D Mag­a­zine, Paper Brigade Dai­ly, Wit­ness­ing, and Beyond Words Mag­a­zine.
