STB Selfies!

I am SO SO SO grateful to the love of my life, family, friends, and readers of my work for supporting "Save The Bathwater."

It takes a village to not only raise a child but to make a big kid's dream come true, so thank YOU for being the real MVPs, keeping poetry alive and helping me share my truth.

Praise for STB:

In this gorgeous new collection of poems, Marina Carreira breathes life into the bittersweet stories of family and culture, a sensory journey into the striking beauty and hard truths of the immigrant landscape cultivated as an American experience. Her poet soul sings—like a Portuguese saudade—in service to safeguarding what has been lost and what should never be forgotten, “to remember it all—sweat and tears, / Luso ancestry, to run roots through/ my future great-granddaughter’s bones.”

—Rigoberto González, author of over twenty books of fiction and non-fiction, four books of poetry, most recently Unpeopled Eden (Four Way Books 2013), winner of the Lambda Literary Award and the Lenore Marshall Prize from the Academy of American Poets.
