Maria Dahvana Headley: Beowulf isn't Boring!

She's a Woman with Miz Cracker

Maria Dahvana Headley is a New York Times-bestselling author. Her book The Mere Wife was named by the Washington Post as one of its Notable Works of Fiction in 2018. She’s written for both teenagers and adults, in a variety of genres and forms. But most recently, she published—don’t freak out—a new translation of Beowulf. That’s right, the super long poem that you hated in High School. But she wants you to rethink everything you know about Beowulf. It may not be as dusty and inaccessible as you think.
