A Little Bit About Me
My name is Maria. I'm a poet, storyteller, tequila lover, and certified word nerd. My poetry collection "Peeling Oranges" debuted as a North American #1 bestseller 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.
