Friends, Music and Video... we're helping you stay connected.

About Us

This site has been created in order to thank and showcase the many talented members of www.LiteraryMary.com. To view the works graciously donated by our members, simply click on Blog (below) and enjoy.

"So what is Literary Mary?" you ask.

I'm glad you asked.

Literary Mary is a friendly and unique forum for writers and artists, built by writers and artists. When you register, you are in complete control of your account and work, both of which you can delete for publication purposes as you see fit. It's our goal to create an atmosphere where people can post their work among friends for critique and feedback, while those who would like to keep first rights can do so without risk. There are forums for uploading spoken word or songs, forums for sharing your photographs or pretty much any other visual art, and that's not all. Just a few more of Literary Mary's features include:--

* An excellent and very approachable staff, including something completely new to any writing forums: Specialists in the fields of Fiction and Poetry. Our Specialists were chosen for their expertise and their natural helpfulness toward other writers, and are ready, willing and able to help members of all level and skill.

* Mad-skills-talented members from the beginner to the published.

* Enough forums to more than satisfy writers of all walks, tastes and genres, including an Erotica forum which is age restricted and viewable by members only, and a *Secret Bonus Track* forum which is another members only forum similar to a Workshop--meaning first rights are 100% protected in both Erotica and Bonus Forums.

* A monthly members only newsletter.

* Seasonal Featured Work--the crème de la crème as chosen by the members in the categories of Poetry, Fiction, and Erotica.

* Illiterate Joe Prose Writing Competitions

* Mackenzie King Nooberama Poetry Contests

* Lyrics and Music Forum

* Debate Forum

* Chat Forum

And so much more.

So if you're a writer, artist, musician or avid reader, please join us at Literary Mary.

Thank you for your warm words! "We all admire the spangled acrobat with classical grace meticulously walking his tight rope in the talcum light; but how much rarer art there is in the sagging rope expert wearing scarecrow clothes and impersonating a grotesque drunk! I should know." Thank you for your friendship! Musical greetings from Munich/Germany!

hey, if you're into the Beats or Naropa or Nuyorican, you might dig Getting Punch in the Arm Over the Summer, an article i wrote about some time i got to spend with Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, Miguel Algarin. and Anne Waldman. It is also featured in the latest issue of Illiterate Magazine. feel free to let me know what you think. ~lhv
