Who is Sasha
Sasha Logan- Alex “Sasha” Logan Cooley- (HE / HIM / THEY / THEM) was born July 12th, 1989, in Trenton, MI. His father worked in the steel industry. His mother worked in education. Sasha worked as a baker and a machine operator. Logan has used writing as a form of therapy his entire life. He won his first short story contest in 4th grade. Sasha wrote a tale of Penguins and Polar bears that ate popsicles while living on Pluto for a local movie theater and won a bronze ribbon. Proving, at an early age he had a strong grasp of poetics and alliteration. He read beat poets, mainly obsessed by Ginsberg’s unapologetic howls for humanity, during his high school years. This behavior alerted the poetry club advisor, who eventually recruited him and taught him proper forms of poetry and story structure.
“My gifts are my poetry and storytelling skills. I aim to paint vivid pictures and raise a mirror to society exposing how harmful we often are to the planet and one another.” -Sasha Logan

The Sasha Logan Literary Manifesto
I will not write to please or appease
I will write to liberate
To support any and all objectively humanitarian
efforts
To promote any entities that are actively and
objectively uplifting and supporting at risk
marginalized communities and minorities
I will speak for the unseen
Not as a savior or king but as a sibling and comrade
Bipolar, human, and flawed
I will write to promote community and friendship
Because coexistence and tolerance fall short of equality
-Sasha Logan 2025
