Mary lives with her wife in Portland Oregon. Her non-fiction and hybrid essays have been published in Signal Mountain Review, Hags on Fire, The Master’s Review, The Rumpus, The Normal School, Fugue and elsewhere. Two of these essays have earned Pushcart nominations. When Mary’s not writing, she can be found providing chiropractic care, gardening, or walking her two aging pitbulls around the wilds of Portland.
