Biography
Radha Marcum’s poetry collection, Bloodline—about family, atomic history, and the more-than-human world—received the 2018 New Mexico Book Award in Poetry. Rooted in ecological, social, and personal landscapes of the American West, her work explores correlations between place and mind, what poet Muriel Rukeyser called in-vironment.
She is the founder of Poet to Poet, a newsletter and private community for poets developing books (poettopoet.substack.com) and teaches at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop.
Radha is a graduate of Bennington College and the University of Washington, Seattle, where she held the Klepser Fellowship in Poetry. Her poems appear widely in journals, including Pleiades, Gulf Coast, FIELD, West Branch, Split Rock Review, The Bellingham Review, Notre Dame Review, The Bennington Review, and Poetry Northwest, among others.
