Mariah Friend is a former ICU nurse turned author. Like Eleanorah, she spent her twenties traveling across continents, searching for home in unexpected places. Her work explores the twin vocabularies of medicine and healing and the paradox of grieving while celebrating new life. Her poetry has appeared in The Walnut Branch, Poetry South, and Entwined: Motherhood and Creativity. She writes Heartbeats, a newsletter for creative caregivers, and currently lives among the Chattanooga hills with her husband and toddler.
