Rachel Maher

We are delighted to announce that the Featured Poet for FMR Volume 7 will be Rachel Maher! Rachel has been with us now since the very beginning when she submitted poems to our FMR Volume 1 and generously allowed us to use one of her beautiful pieces of art on the cover. Since then, she has been represented in every volume of FMR so far in either poem or art form. We are delighted to take a moment to say THANK YOU to her for helping us build the FMR into what it is today and to share her story with you all! May the new year bring you and yours good health and many blessings!

Rachel Maher believes a poem is a picture painted with words. As an artist, writing poetry gives her a chance to use words instead of her brush to describe and interpret what she experiences in her world. She has enjoyed publication several times in Frost Meadow Review and her artwork has graced many of the covers as well.  She was recognized by the Peterborough Poetry Society with an honorable mention in June 2020, and was included in the Underground Writers Association’s Poets of New England anthology in 2018.  Rachel is a native Mainer who lives, paints, and writes in Southern Maine.  Her website is www.rmaherfineart.com.
