I’m Marina, a poet, writer, & student.

My fiction has appeared in OxMag, Astrolabe, Peach Fuzz, UndrBelly, Alocasia, scaffold, & American Literary Review. I have fiction forthcoming in Sinister Wisdom 138, the Fall issue of ‘25.

My poetry has appeared in Stoneboat, SoFloPoJo, New Feathers Anthology, Pictura, The Zinnia Journal, Alocasia, & UndrBelly.

I write the Substack newsletter ANOTHER MERMAID. Subscribing means you’ll receive monthly writing updates, calls to action, recommendations, & joy-sharing from me.

I am a student at Florida International University (& stand with the demands for divestment from genocide). I am from so-called Miami, FL, on ancestral Seminole, Miccosukee, & Tequesta land.

There will be liberation for Palestine, DRC, Sudan, oppressed & occupied peoples everywhere in our lifetime.

I love Mundillo lace, desserts with matcha & maracuyá, & the fact that there is a butterfly (Parrhasius m-album) in my hometown with a marking in the shape of an "M" on its hindwings.
