Marion Palm is the featured poet at this month's Ken Siegelman's Brooklyn Poetry Outreach.

Marion Palm, a bi-lingual Swedish-speaking poet and frequent featured reader on the NYC poetry readings scene, is internationally published. Marion attended the University of Minnesota for her undergraduate work and Bank Street College of Education for her graduate degree. She is the founding director of Poets Under Glass, Inc. — winner of numerous grants and awards, the most prestigious being a proclamation for “contributing to the cultural vitality of our city”, from a borough president of Brooklyn. She has edited numerous industrial magazines, been included in anthologies, and has her work archived in the Sutter Memorial Archive at Wagner College, at the National Museum of Immigration and Naturalization, and the Library of Congress as author of six chapbooks and five non-fiction books. In 2018, the University of Minnesota inducted her into the ANA (Alumni of Notable Achievement) in Minneapolis as a “gifted poet, educator and community advocate.” Her most recent distinction is being included in a resource book featuring 360 of the “world’s best contemporary poets”, out of India. Once an office administrator and educator, she now writes full-time — where she lives in Brooklyn — as a member of one of the original Finnish co-ops built a hundred years ago in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. Her most recent publication is a memoir Affirmations in Action, composed during the global pandemic. In this book, she shares what it is like to be familiar with two languages and a first-generation American.
