Radha Marcum

Radha Marcum’s poetry collection, Bloodline, 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 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. Radha lives in Colorado where she teaches at the Lighthouse Writers Workshop.
