Maggie is the founding member of the Post-apocalyptic Poets for a Pre-apocalyptic World, a collective dedicated to performance-based poetics, mutual aid, and elevating the work of emerging artists. Her work has been supported by the Tiny Spoon Residency, the National Women’s History Museum, and the NEH. She is the 2025 recipient of the Anne Spencer Memorial Award through The Poetry Society of Virginia and has an MFA from Hollins University. She is the proud parent of a perfect guinea pig named Guillermo Girard, who is better than everyone. When she’s not writing, you can find her in the woods and on Substack at Epistles from an American Poet.
