Autorenporträt
Author Meghan Guidry works across genres by fusing poetry, memoir, and magical realism to highlight emotional truths and inner landscapes. Central to her work is the exploration of grief-how it manifests in memory and ritual, and the mythologies we create to live alongside loss. Meghan's work has appeared in the 34 Orchard, the Harvard Divinity Bulletin, Applied Sentience, and The Grey Alley from Empty City Press. She is the creator of No New Mythology, a monthly literary series that explores trauma, grief, and healing through the lens of classical mythology. Meghan also collaborates with composers on choral lyrics and libretto for new operas. Meghan lives in Boston with her cat Sam. When she's not writing, you can find her swimming, playing RPGs, and on a quest to find the best chocolates in the world.
