Maria Aln

My work explores what it means to be human. I write from close observation of how people feel, see, and imagine themselves, turning those perceptions into language. Each poem aims to capture what is felt, what is seen, and what is believed to be. I love using poetry as a mirror in which others might glimpse their own reflection. I’m based in New Zealand. Though my work centers on people, I live in a quiet place closely connected to nature.
