Maureen Reynosa-Braak
Maureen Reynosa-Braak writes poetry with unflinching specificity, translating memory and observation into testimony. Her poems resist metaphor in favor of the concrete: what was said, what was worn, what remains. Whether documenting family, friendships or nature, her work refuses sentimentality and easy resolution. Her poetry has appeared in North Dakota Quarterly, Ekphrastic Review, Hare’s Paw Literary Review, and elsewhere. She lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
