Maz was one of several editors of The Worm.
I never sent her poems because The Worm seemed so like an email but is that a good place to start? Who else was a contact?

She published a lot of stuff in The Worm. Some under grasshopper, and some under "m a griffiths" I believe. When it is figured out who is culling everything together, someone should mine the archive: http://www.poetryworm.com/

I am truly sorry to hear this. I don't have as long a familiarity with her work as many of you, but truly fell in love with her writing in last year's sonnet bake-off.

This is sad news. Worm 39 was the first place to accept my work, and I was thrilled to bits when it happened.
I admired Margaret's work and her general approach to poetry.

This is such sad news. I knew Maz from the Gazebo. The subject matter of her poems was original and different, her writing very creative and engaging. Her poems were like stories to me. I remember many of them and the “characters” in them. Much of her poetry is in the Gazebo archives.

Maz was one of the finest poets to emerge from the internet.

She was an obvious talent, but you also couldn't help feeling she had a decency beneath it all that would have made her a lovely neighbor who would keep finding ways to make the community better.

I'll miss her, and her words, the way they skipped and danced across and down the page.
for Maz
Her touch, so light,
the pixie
skimming dandelions.
O.P.W.

Hi Janet
I think more correctly the (poetry)Worm was a zine, or an emailed magazine. Since Maz had a number of co-editors in recent years, including as I recall the talented David Anthony from this list, I should hope it will continue. David, any word on that?
