Biography
Saretta Morgan (she/they) is an environmental writer. An antiwar veteran, landscaper, naturalist, and grandchild of Southern farmers, her work, which considers the impacts of imperialism on lands and communities, is informed by lived practices at the intersections of grassroots social and environmental justice movements, and by personal and intergenerational experiences of incarceration and land stewardship. Her debut collection, Alt-Nature, is a meditation on sensual experiences of the Sonoran and Mojave deserts in the shadows of state violence.
Her current work explores intersections of Black vernacular, landscape design, landscape photography, birds, environmental conservation and advocacy, anti-imperialist memory work, and entangled histories of agriculture and anti-Black violence across the US Southeast and Southwest.
