Conjuring My Leafy Muse (The Lillian Trilogy)

Mary Meriam is a frightening poet, a frighteningly good poet.
- David Bergman, Poetry Editor of The Gay & Lesbian Review

I am a tremendous admirer of her work.
- Lillian Faderman, Scholar of Lesbian History and Literature

We are lucky to have her dissident voice.
- Willis Barnstone, American Poet

Mary Meriam?s sonnets, lyrics and chants show the best of the New Formalism.
- Zachary Bos, Editor of Poetry Northeast

She?s a true rebel, in all her heartfelt, singsong, vulnerable, girly glory.
- Rose Kelleher, Anthony Hecht Prize for Bundle o? Tinder

Above all, Mary Meriam is a magic poet and if that is what you want (as I do) this is a book for you.
- John Whitworth, British Poet
