MY NAME IS MARIE.
I'm a writer and poet living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
My creative work hinges on themes of love and loss, mental illness and the hard route to stability,
and the terrifying—but liberating—experience of deconstructing from traditionalist Catholic faith and religious trauma.
(And somehow finding the divine, love, friendship, and healing along the way.)
