Meg Freer grew up in Missoula, Montana, studied music at Carleton College in Minnesota, and musicology at Princeton University. She worked first in book publishing and now teaches piano, enjoys the outdoors year-round in Ontario, and wishes she had more time to write poetry. Her poems come to her sometimes like musical phrases, but with a strong visual component. She enjoys outdoor photography, and inspiration for her writing and photography often comes from intriguing juxtapositions, clusters and angles in both the human and the natural world. Her photos, poems and prose have been published in journals such as Ruminate, Vallum Contemporary Poetry, Poetry South, Eastern Iowa Review, Burningword Literary Review, Young Ravens Literary Review, and Rat’s Ass Review. In 2017 she attended the Summer Literary Seminars in Tbilisi, Republic of Georgia. Her poems have been shortlisted and have won awards in several contests in both the U.S. and Canada. You can find her published poems and photos on her Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100010014006034.
