Blogger Highlight-Ephemeral Encounters

Looking for the Light

Thank you for all the great feedback on the Blogger Highlight series, I’ve enjoyed meeting each blogger and sharing their blog with you. This week we highlight Ephemeral Encounters. We have not followed each other for long, but I had to follow after reading a few poems. Maggie is kind and giving; her personality shines through her words. 

Ephemeral Encounters

I am Maggie Watson, an Indie Poet and Author from Scotland.
My poetry journey began at the start of the pandemic in 2020.
At that point, I had no idea it would then become such a big part of my life.
We can all agree that those years were very difficult, and I found the "lockdowns" particularly hard.
So I began putting pen to paper, merely to get my sense of isolation and frustration down on paper.
Fast forward to December 2020 and "The Madness of Corona" was published (by a publishing house).

Her lasted book is called, Pieces of Me, A collection of poems.

I am pleased to announce that my New Collection of Poetry is now available to pre-order (Kindle Version) on Amazon

The Paperback Edition will be released on 7/10/2025.

I asked Maggie a couple of questions:

M. You started writing in 2020, how did you know it was your life’s passion?

M.  At that point I had no idea that writing would become my passion. Covid had just raised its ugly head. I felt very isolated at the time, so I began putting my thoughts down on paper. Living on my own with the uncertainty of what was going on in the outside world was horrendous, my mental health was not great at that time (I am prone to low mood). I could not have envisaged the huge part it would then become in my life, but I am so very happy that I did pick up that pen!

M.  You have been published many times, what is your favorite piece of work and why?

M.  My favourite piece is “The Mask”.
It was in my first Collection, “The Madness of Corona”, which was published by a publishing house.
The Mask really conveys what people with depression sometimes do.
We wear a mask because there are still many people who don’t get it.
People also wear masks to hide their pain (the wounds that no one sees).
 
Another favorite poem of Maggie’s is In the Shadow of My Pen, it’s a “fire in your belly ” poem, one which I hope anyone reading would draw strength from.

Child of Mine is one of my favorite poems. 

Be sure to pull up a chair and read through her archives, it will be time well spent.  

Melinda
