Molly PeacockPoet, Biographer, EssayistMolly Peacock is a poet, biographer, essayist, and writer of tales whose multi-genre literary life has taken her from New York City to Toronto, from poetry to prose, from words to words-and-pictures, and from lyric self-examination to curiosity about the lives of others.

She is the author of many books of poetry, including The Widow’s Crayon Box (2024), The Analyst (2017), The Second Blush (2008), and Cornucopia: New and Selected Poems 1975-2002 . Her prose works include the story collection Alphabetique: 26 Characteristic Fictions (2014), the biography Paper Garden: Mrs. Delany Begins Her Life’s Work at 72 (2012), the guide How to Read a Poem & Start a Poetry Circle (1999), and the memoir Paradise, Piece by Piece (1998).
