Author Information

Marjorie Moorhead writes from a river valley, surrounded by mountains and four season change, at the border of NH/VT. She found a voice in poetry after surviving AIDS in its early years, and becoming a mother. Much of her work addresses survival, environment, relationship, and appreciation of the everyday. She is author of Every Small Breeze (Kelsay Books 2023), What I Ask (Kelsay 2024), the chapbooks Survival: Trees, Tides, Song (Finishing Line Press, 2019) and Survival Part 2: Trees, Birds, Ocean, Bees (Duck Lake Books, 2020). Her poems have appeared in journals including Amethyst Review, Tiny Seed Literary, Moist Poetry Journal, Bloodroot Literary, Sheila-Na-Gig, Porter House Review, Poeming Pigeon, Verse-Virtual, What Rough Beast, A River Sings, The Poet's Touchstone, and others. Her poems are found in a large number of anthologies, including those that benefit environmental, women's, Covid first responder, and refugee aid organizations. Marjorie's local poetry group is 4th Friday Poets, a small group that has been meeting twice a month for years. In summer of 2019 Marjorie enjoyed participating in a workshop at Fine Arts Work Center, Provincetown MA, thanks to a tuition scholarship from Indolent Books. She has attended many readings and workshops online with some amazing and inspiring poets, thanks to zoom. Along with poetry community, love of family, daily walks in each season, and tai chi practice are the things that feed her.
