MariJean Wegert is a ghostwriter, poet, teacher, mother of two, and place emerging from a fixed point in Northern Indiana. Her writing contemplates the poetics of place, weaving ecology, metaphor, and myth; as well as studying the consequences of ideologies of shame and disconnection from dirt, story, and the animate world. She grew up along the Portage River in Ohio, making forts in the woods and forgetting to change out of her high waters to attend band practice. (Not much has changed.) 

Her poetry and essays have appeared in Analecta, Tributaries, Tilted House, Geez Magazine, YoHo Journal, The Salt Collective, Edible Michiana, and others.
