Meghan Maguire Dahn grew up in the middle of the woods. Accordingly, she developed her sense of time and space in relation to—for instance—how long it takes a group of beavers to make a dam and how the shape of the river changes. Or how long will a fisher cat scream in the middle of the night. Or what amount of ice will make a tree creak. Her first poem was published in Cricket magazine and so was primarily read by kids in doctor's waiting rooms. She is the author of the full length collection Domain and the chapbook Lucid Animal. Her work has appeared in Boston Review, Iowa Review, Lana Turner, Denver Quarterly, Gettysburg Review, and others. She lives in New York City with her family, who are better than fisher cats.
