BUILDING UNIVERSES: My poem “borderline” performed at the Museum of African Diaspora
"A Call From Destiny" is one of my poems recently published in an online issue, Shaping Destiny: Election Season, Before, During and After, in About Place Journal, a literary journal created by the The Black Earth Institute dedicated to re-forging the links between art and spirit, earth and society.
The poem is at the culmination of the journal.

Maurissa has just released her debut poetry collection blue, in which she invites the reader to wade through a wave-like journey of the grief, rage, disillusionment, and hope that accompanies the loss of a healthy planet-home. This book was crafted in partnership with Mama’s Kitchen Press.
blue is a collection of poems set against the depths of the ocean and other bodies of water. Maurissa sets the stage to remember the past, struggle with the present, and wonder about the future, in hopes of finding resilience, community, and love under the pressures of time.
