Maggie Kennedy

Maggie Kennedy spends early mornings staring out a window at a row of 100-year-old sycamore trees. Sometimes a poem comes along. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including Epiphany, Spoon River Poetry Review, and Atticus Review. She honed her craft at Eastern Illinois University and the University of Chicago.

Unraveling the Script is her first book of poems, published by Pine Row Press. (Cover photo and design by Alex Van Dyke)

Maggie lives in the Chicago suburbs with her family and works as a writer for The Nature Conservancy. She is involved with several local writer's groups and poetry organizations: Poets & Patrons, the Illinois State Poetry Society, and the La Grange Writer's Group.
