Hi, I'm Maria
I'm a poet and creative soul. I was born in Durango, Mexico and immigrated to Canada with my family when I was four years old. My poems have found homes in The Literary Review of Canada, Queen's Quarterly, Grain, Contemporary Verse 2, ONLY POEMS and elsewhere. I recently won the 2025 Jack McCarthy award.
I host the popular writing internationally recognized writing community, Gather, for other poets searching for creative community.
