Sharma is a new Wave author but has published several books, notably with Fence Books, which have all been praised in outlets such as Publishers Weekly , The Rumpus , and Jacket2 . Sharma has been an active educator with an admiring student base, having taught for many years in the MFA program at the University of Montana. She is moving to Pomona College in 2019 where she will continue to deepen her academic networks. She is also the founder of Thinking Its Presence, a conference on poetics and race that has run since 2014. Grief Sequence is a breakthrough work tackling one of the most difficult and personal topics art engages, with the potential to give solace, affirmation, and new ways of thinking about grief and mourning to many readers, not just of poetry. Sharma approaches grief through a variety of pathways, navigating the modern medical system, science, and hospice care, but also love, narrative, memory, and the inherent complexities of intimate relationships that are exposed when we endure extreme emotional distress.
