She served as a contributing and advisory editor of Callaloo, and co-founder of the Dark Room Collective (1988-1998) and co-curator of the Dark Room Reading Series.[2] The Dark Room Collective had a mission of forming a community of new African-American writers. Strange has said: "It was the sustaining practice of writing in community just as much as the activism of building a community-based reading series for writers of color that kept us engaged in collectivity."[3]
Her work has appeared in journals such as Callaloo, The American Poetry Review, Painted Bride Quarterly, Beltway Poetry Quarterly, Agenda, AGNI,[4]Mosaic, and L-I-N-K-E-D, and in numerous anthologies.
