The Margins
Look Again.
The things that shape our lives are often the things we've learned not to notice.
The Margins is a home for poetry, thoughts, and conversations that invite us to look again: at invisible labor, unheard voices, inherited expectations, and the ordinary moments that quietly shape our lives. Here, poetry becomes a way of paying closer attention–to understand ourselves and one another more honestly.
As a poet, professor, woman, and writer, I believe good writing (and good reading) asks us to slow down long enough to see what has always been there. I invite you into the conversations that have shaped me: the poems I couldn't stop writing, the books I couldn't stop thinking about, and the ordinary moments I couldn't stop looking at. If you leave with one new question—or one new way of seeing—I hope you'll come back for another.
Welcome to The Margins.
