Upcoming
Mary has two works-in-progress:
No More Excuses: Drawing on her 15 years of experience working in construction and tech companies, Mary shines a light on the truths of capitalism and her own self-confidence journey, and presents the natural world and community as a healing force and alternative.
If Hands Were Dis\Tributaries: Part memoir, part auto-fiction, this chapbook weaves water in poetic form, metaphors, and visual elements to explore how family and childhood influence us.
Local Installation
As part of Seattle-based Push/Pull’s Annual Poetry and Art Show, Mary had two erasures (“Principles”) displayed on the wall, included in the risograph poetry anthology, and gave a reading at opening night
