Meredith spent her formative years with her nose in any book she could find. After traipsing off to college, she decided she might just try writing a book of her own. Her love affair with the written word and its paper landscape is lifelong, so imagine her surprise when she discovered she could make her very own books. Meredith received an M.F.A. in Creative Writing & Publishing Arts from the University of Baltimore; her thesis for the program was a hand-bound book of poems titled The Mockingbird’s Song; the production of this handmade work was limited to 30 copies.

Dear Meredith:
Hey there. I wanted to write because a friend recently sent me a link to your blog. I feel really honored and gladdened by the time you spent with my work. Thanks. So often it feels like the poems get launched into Big World, but then disappear–blip. It’s nice to see that the book is conducting itself properly now that it’s on its own! I also love your bio–discovering that you could make your own books, and the term/idea bound up in the term of “paper landscape.” Yes and yes.
Cheers!

Hi, Jennifer! Forgive the delay in my replying, but sadly my blog has languished a bit this last year. Now, let me say that it’s a thrill to hear from you. I’m also blushing a bit to know that the real you has read my silly little posts about how much I adore your work. But it’s true: I love your poetry through and through, and I was stunned at the binding work you and Ian had done. Thank you so much for finding my little blog (which I am about to re-ignite for a scaled down version of my poetry month celebrations) and your very kind words. It really is an honor to have you here!
