Bold, rich lyrics reveal the grand in the domestic, claiming the physical as an essential part of the -female experience, declaring that to live fully in the body is the truest, bravest, and most glorious form of worship. https://annemariemacari.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1606227408221-SW0ZPW0491ASNRSPTC02/AMM+scarf.jpg Home - Anne Marie Macari is a poet & essayist living and working in New York. Her new book, AMERIGUN, is available March 24, 2026. In Amerigun, a stunning collection of loss and rediscovery, poet Anne Marie Macari revisits her brother Edward’s long-ago death by a self-inflicted gunshot. Interweaving and disentangling her own memories and those of her family, and by reconstructing a legal and medical paper trail, Macari begins a dialogue with the dead, bringing her brother’s lost voice back to her after years of sealing herself off from him. Embedded in her story is the devastation of a culture that elevates guns and violence over the sacredness of human life. Yet, out of that devastation, Macari writes a kind of love story, renewing her connection with her brother, as well with other departed friends and family. By revisiting grief, she uncovers a deeply-felt gratitude for the world around her—and indeed for her own life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/5c7aa1a4-0c26-4170-9495-c5c2bd53c252/Amerigun.jpg Home - Coming Soon: Amerigun In Amerigun, a stunning collection of loss and rediscovery, poet Anne Marie Macari revisits her brother Edward’s long-ago death by a self-inflicted gunshot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1606235775914-1LZRW5E95EDSFMTWL8TY/Screen%25252BShot%25252B2020-11-24%25252Bat%25252B11.30.55%25252BAM.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1606236147444-NLDSC71EMHH34E562NAG/Screen+Shot+2020-11-24+at+11.42.10+AM.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cd1a3f41e2d220001ef6179/1558392343748-CC9SDIFX7DUGNLMX2USY/ishimoto13.jpg Home https://annemariemacari.com/about daily 0.75 2026-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1607379590240-F9B1FY0AQLIO0U8ZE52X/download.jpg About - Anne Marie Macari is the author of six books of poetry, most recently Amerigun.

It is the existential part of the poem–the who am I, where am I; it is the consciousness in the poem. –from an interview with Wesley Sexton for Manuscripts https://annemariemacari.com/new-album daily 0.75 2020-11-24 https://annemariemacari.com/ivory-cradle daily 0.75 2020-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1606240290252-GG2HMLWCN1DVDPN1Q12Z/IC+macari.jpg Ivory Cradle - Robert Creeley, who selected Ivory Cradle from over 1,200 manuscripts for the APR/Honickman First Book Prize, writes in his introduction: “The wonders here are those of perception, intuition, union, separation—and all the emotions these provoke. Anger, despair, but also joy, love in its flooding recognitions, relief in the world’s insistent substance.” https://annemariemacari.com/red-deer daily 0.75 2020-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1606240160119-M247PRAC76P9PPJH2232/red+deer+.jpg Red Deer - This fourth collection unearths a hidden prehistoric world of art and art-makers. Anne Marie Macari delves deep within the earth, exploring the prehistoric caves of France and Spain, communing with the lives and art of those who once inhabited them. Writing from a variety of perspectives and in diverse voices, Macari connects us with a distant past, with "memory / stumbling into mineral stillness. . .a forgotten animal / across my shoulders.” https://annemariemacari.com/she-heads-into-the-wilderness daily 0.75 2020-12-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/1606228701446-JUFGJ05YEQA1IIS91XTB/Wilderness+cover.jpg She Heads into the Wilderness - Whether it is within the context of homo sapiens’ tragic evolution into our place of dominion over the earth that we have so profoundly abused, or our expulsion from the mythic garden, Anne Marie Macari goes way beyond bemoaning our collective lack of grace, or participating in fancy theorizing: This is a book of informed and original intellectual engagement with the world’s many layers, and of complex spiritual response—but most importantly it is a book driven by blind love for the world we are both a part of, and apart from. —JANE MEAD https://annemariemacari.com/amerigun daily 0.75 2026-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbd103c7fdac13441b1f9ae/5c7aa1a4-0c26-4170-9495-c5c2bd53c252/Amerigun.jpg Amerigun - In Amerigun, a stunning collection of loss and rediscovery, poet Anne Marie Macari revisits her brother Edward’s long-ago death by a self-inflicted gunshot.

Walking through the landscape of loss, the poems in Heaven Beneathexplore the illness of a parent and the parallel ongoing degradation and destruction of the planet and its creatures. Beneath “paved-over space,” in the deep currents of a river, or the shadows of great trees, there’s another world, there’s a heaven, unknowable, in the muck, alive and with us, not distant or abstract. Using music as an essential force, as the conductor, and meditating on the deep lyric, Anne Marie Macari's poem summon mystery, energy, and a longing to enter, to touch, our heaven beneath, to walk with loss, to give in to the whole, the complete.
