Reviews
"Marya's debut lands in the gorgeous, messy place where the sacred and profane overlap. Sugar Work has a compelling narrative bent and generous eyes, stunning in its southern reality and recognition of suffering and work. Marya is a psychologically astute poet, a bright new talent in touch with her own humanity and that of others–allowing strippers dignity on stage, and looking upon addicts and her own young self with nuance and compassion." –Megan Mayhew Bergman
