In recognition of Poetry Month, writers and artists featured in the latest edition of Plum, GCC’s literary magazine, share their work at a reading celebrating the magazine’s relaunch, with special guest poet and former GCC English professor Maria Williams. As an adoptee and single mother, Maria often writes poems and stories about belonging, abandonment, family and relationships. Maria is author of the book White Doe (2024) and the chapbook A Love Letter To Say There Is No Love (2011), and her poems have been published in numerous journals including Bellevue Literary Review, Pank, Quarterly West, Allium and Bateau.
