Sarah Capdeville

Sarah Capdeville graduated from the University of Montana with a BS in Resource Conservation and a BA in Spanish. She holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Always in search of wild places, she proudly wore the title of wilderness ranger for five seasons. She is an editor with two place-based journals, The Hopper and The Changing Times, and her writing has been featured in national and regional publications.

Sarah is most interested in how systems of violence mirror, inform, and intertwine in communities and their natural environments. Coming from a natural science background, she works in writing and practice to deconstruct structures of ableism, cis-hetero-patriarchy, and white supremacy in the relationships between landscapes and their people

As program administrative assistant with Inspire, Sarah brings an interconnected approach to healing and change, as well as an acute attention to detail and organization. She currently lives in Missoula, Montana, with her partner, retired greyhound, and opinionated cat, where she navigates chronic illness and daydreams about the crosscut saw
