A Little Bit About Me
My name is Maria. I'm a poet, storyteller, tequila lover, and a big believer in the power of writing shit down.
My poetry collection "Peeling Oranges" debuted as a North American #1 bestseller on Amazon in June of 2022.
My work has been published in many reputable literary magazines including Contemporary Verse 2, the York Journal, and Imposter.
I am the founder of Campfire Poets, a writing space dedicated to slow, sustainable storytelling. I call Toronto, Canada home.
