Maria Masington

Maria Masington's poetry is bold and unflinching, but at the same time warm and humane and humorous. She can be sentimental without being cloying, and direct without being harsh. In her world, Snow White attends AA. In her world, the everyday offers a peek into a much broader world, but remains grounded in reality and humor. This five-part collection of her poetry is salty and nautical in name only--it has a firm footing on solid ground.
