Welcome
Mary McAfoose (she/her) is an emerging poet based in Seattle, on land of the Duwamish. Her poems have been published in Room, Prosetrics, Ink in Thirds, and elsewhere. Mary holds an electrical engineering degree, and when not working corporate tech jobs, she enjoys writing relatable poetry, reading, and playing videogames.
Who am I?
Publications
Mary’s work has appeared in 9 literary magazines and her chapbook If Hands Were Dis/Tributaries is forthcoming in 2027 with Red Bird Chapbooks! See additional details with links here.
Visual Art
I use visual found and erasure poetry to expose dangerous truths and re-write the narrative from familiar artifacts. See more about this visual art style — and reach out to collaborate — here!
On the second Wednesday of every month, you can most often find me at C&P Coffee in West Seattle, participating in Poetry Bridge’s Open Mic! Check out videos of past readings here.
