(Marin Killen) I am a lesbian poet whose work currently centers themes of motherhood, gender, and relationships. I am a graduate of Winthrop University, where I studied literature and creative writing during my master’s degree, and the College of Charleston, where I received my bachelor’s in the same field. I am a runner-up for the Sarah Margaret Goad Memorial Prize for fiction, and I can always be found reading horror novels and drinking black tea in my home in Rock Hill, SC, where I was born.
