Invocation
Last night
I crumbled to ash
and bits of bone.
This morning
I swallowed the pieces of myself
and was reborn
The Poetry
Maggie has been writing poetry for as long as they could hold a pencil. They believe that life isn’t a linear progression, but rather an adventure with no definite destination. Maggie is what is known as a “Conscious Creator”; their work is informed by their queerness and feminism. It is grounded in mindfulness.
Inside each of our hearts lives someone who wasn’t built for this world; someone ready to rebel. Connect with that part of yourself through the poetry of Maggie Olson.
