Sasha Terfous is a poet, educator, and content creator whose work sits at the intersection of literature, lived experience, and cultural critique. From Ireland's South-East, she has become a distinctive voice in Ireland’s contemporary poetry landscape, known for her introspective style, evocative imagery, and her ability to weave vulnerability with sharp social insight.
Her live performances, ranging from intimate spoken-word events to large-scale cultural programmes, have garnered recognition for their emotional resonance and clarity of voice. Sasha has collaborated with organisations such as the Centre for Environmental Justice alongside Mary Robinson, the BEAT Campaign for Cervical Cancer awareness, Female Tribes: Warrior Women by JWT Folk, the Bloomsday festival, Wooden Elephant, Dani Gill’s ‘The Lighthouse Project’, the Adrian Brinkerhoff Foundation and so much more. Sasha is currently developing her debut poetry collection: a work rooted in confessional honesty, memory, and personal mythmaking.
Beyond the stage, she is invested in the Waterford Arts Community and advocates critical engagement and accessibility to the arts. She is passionate about supporting emerging writers, particularly those navigating non-traditional pathways into the arts. Sasha’s work is defined by emotional precision, cultural curiosity, and a fierce commitment to artistic integrity.
