Marilyn Irwin partook in two of Ottawa poet rob mclennan’s poetry workshops in 2010, and graduated from Algonquin College’s Creative Writing Certificate Program this Spring. Marilyn self-published her first chapbook for when you pick daisies (2010) which was immediately re-issued by above/ground press. Extrapolated fragments of her musings can be found in issues of Bywords, Bywords Quarterly Journal, ottawater and Peter F. Yacht Club.

This is Irwin’s second above/ground press title, after the collection for when you pick daisies (2010).

See reviews of her previous work here and here.

Marilyn Irwin will be launching flicker in Ottawa on August 9, as part of the above/ground press 19th anniversary reading/launch/party atThe Mercury Lounge! You should totally come.
