Meghan Maguire Dahn grew up in the middle of the woods. Her first poem was published in Highlights Magazine and read primarily in waiting rooms by children nervous about getting shots or stitches. Her work has also appeared or is forthcoming in Boston Review, Cincinnati Review, The Boog City Reader, Beloit Poetry Journal, Cartographer, and ellipsis…a journal of art and culture. She is a winner of a 2014 Discovery/92nd Street Y Poetry Prize, has an MFA from Columbia University’s School of the Arts, and lives steps away from Manhattan’s only forest.
When I took you / in my hands I tore you up and lost my hope.
