Couples and form in Maggie Millner’s ‘Couplets’

"Maggie’s poems ooze a kind of easy sensuality, mirroring our protagonist’s embrace of her own sexuality in the explicit nature of the verse. Every moment of 'Couplets' feels intimate in more ways than one – with the insight into the speaker’s desire, we get so close to her mind that it is hard to find room to breathe." - Catherine Sawoski on @soft_boilt_egg

FF2 Media Declares Mother’s Day 2023 “Loretta Lynn Day”

"It seems only fitting on this Mother’s Day to pay tribute to Loretta Lynn—country music icon and mother of six—who died last year on October 4, 2022. Since this is the first year in decades that her own voice will be silent on this day, we will sing about her on behalf of women in audiences everywhere." - Lisa Siegrist
