Maggie is: Uproariously funny, passionate, driven,
provoking you to reconsider just by standing there. She moves in
the writer's galaxy with side trips to the musical stage, where
she collaborates with the best of the usual suspects. Her bookstore,
Biblio (RIP), is a sanctuary salon for the alternative scene, a place
friendly to ideas. If you are fortunate enough to hear her tell
a story, you will never forget it; she delivered two tours de force
in a row at Fray 6 and 7. Which is better -- her Johnny-Rotten-apologized-to-meon-bended-knee
story, or the monologue asking John Ashcroft to make sense of life
in all its gory detail? Can't decide. I will always remember Maggie
at my Day of the Dead party, leading a jaded bunch to sing the chorus
for her heartbreaking a capella rendition of "Goodnight Irene."
Maggie, don't say goodnight yet.
