Originally from Egypt, Mary Silwance lives in Kansas City and is a mother of three daughters. She has been an English teacher, Farm to School Coordinator, environmental educator, and farmhand. She provides writing workshops and serves on the editorial team of Kansas City Voices. Mary explores ecology from an intersection of justice and spirituality in workshops and writing. While her poetry and essays appear in numerous publications, you can also find her work, chapbooks, radio, and Zoom presentations as well as workshop offerings at https://www.marysilwance.com. When she’s not writing, you can find Mary gardening, hiking, thrifting, or planning her off- grid village.
