Libby Maxey
Senior Editor and Literary Reflections Editor
Libby Maxey has been a member of the Literary Mama staff since 2012. She lives in rural Massachusetts with her husband and two rapidly maturing sons. With her academic career as a medievalist having died a stunningly swift death by childbirth, she now administers the classics department at Amherst College, writes poetry, reads when able, and sings with her local light opera company. Her work has appeared in The Mom Egg Review, Emrys, The Maynard, Mezzo Cammin and elsewhere. Her poetry chapbook, Kairos (2019), won the Finishing Line Press New Women’s Voices contest.
