Something Tiny – Marjorie Manwaring
Nov 3rd, 2010 by jennie
Through her writing, Marjorie Manwaring explores her fascination with the tiny. Keenly observant and uniquely funny, Manwaring creates a sense of nostalgia for gumball machines and tiny dolls. Her short poems lead listeners into the often overlooked world of miniscule things.
Manwaring lives in Seattle, where she is a freelance writer and an editor for the online poetry and art journal the DMQ Review. Her work has been published in Crab Orchard Review, Floating Bridge Review, Sentence, 5 AM, Crab Creek Review, and other journals, and her chapbook Magic Word was published in 2007. Marjorie is a Pushcart Prize nominee, and she has been awarded writing residencies through the Whiteley Center at Friday Harbor on San Juan Island and Artsmith on Orcas Island.
