Lee Ann Brown, founder of Tender Buttons Press, was her first poetry teacher. Brown wrote of Marron’s first book of poems that, “these [are] rosaries of negative capability, within and flying out of a book so as to dwell in mysteries of poems unlike any other. Sara Cahill Marron plays the changes of a kind of sleep and wake talk, an efflorescence from her mind to yours 'As specific as / The Day Lady Died, /always remembering and spinning anew.'”

Marron earned an MA from St. John's University in 2016 and a JD from The George Washington University Law School in 2021. She is a member of the DC Bar.
