MAGENTA GIRL
Maggie Daniels is a poet, writer, and director who channels her passion for storytelling with an unfiltered viewpoint. She self-published her first poetry collection,SWIMMING, in 2020, weaving her experiences from her small-town upbringing in the Bible Belt into her work. Her writing captures the essence of Southern charm and resilience, offering readers a comforting sense of familiarity.
In April 2021, Maggie teamed up with Plan Nine Studios and BabeClub's Jenna Desmond and Corey Campbell to produce an audiobook of SWIMMING. With her narration and accompanying music, this audiobook provides a deeply personal insight into her thoughts and struggles.
SWIMMING was crafted to connect with those feeling isolated or unable to express their emotions, addressing themes like grief, friendship, mental health, and relationship challenges. Maggie's poetry resonates with a wide audience, touching on the profound emotional spectrum of life, love, and loss, offering both honesty and healing. Currently, Maggie is working on two new collections that extend the narrative of SWIMMING, with release dates yet to be announced.
Described by her mother as a "magenta girl in a khaki world," an apt metaphor for the distinctive and vibrant perspective she brings to exploring the human condition through her art.
Beyond her poetry, Maggie's visual storytelling skills are evident on film sets. She aims to bring her screenplays to life and is preparing to direct her first independent feature, Tanglewood, once funding is secured. Supporting her by purchasing her poetry books directly contributes to this endeavor, so consider helping an independent artist thrive.
