Marilyn A. Johnson

Marilyn A. Johnson is a poet and nonfiction writer whose work has appeared in Plume, RHINO, Salamander, and other journals. She received a Yaddo fellowship. She has published three nonfiction books, including The Dead Beat, a New York Times bestseller. She lives in New York's Hudson Valley. She has been tied to Hole in the Head Review as a contributor, with poetry in its May 2020 issue. The Pedestal bio calls her an associate editor, while the magazine's own About page lists her as an editor emeritus, so her current role is unclear.
