Alba V Sarria

Alba Sarria is a poet and flash fictionist fascinated by all things eerie, disquieting, and romantically entangled in folklore. You can usually find Alba wandering old cemeteries at night, fulfilling dying wishes for the dead, and keeping flower-less graves company. Lately though you can find Alba crouched at a hidden lake’s rocky shore, listening intently to all the secrets it whispers about the flooded town that sleeps deep down below its surface, and heeding strange instructions on how to keep out of sight of the old gods yawning through the forest.

Alba is the 2018 CSPA Gold Circle Award winner for Free Form Poetry, the 2021 Gold Circle CM for short fiction, the 2021 William Heath Award recipient, the 2021 First Place winner of Polaris’ Fiction Competition, and a 2022 Pushcart nominee.

To contact Alba, fog your bathroom mirror at 4:13am and write their name backwards in blood. All inquiries and gossip will be replied to through cryptic temperature changes, hall light flickering, and sudden toilet flushing. Or, you can give Alba a follow on Instagram: @albasarriawrites
