Because of those early experiences, much of her poetry is about war, flight, journey, assimilation and belonging, with a particular focus on the children in those situations. Her poems have been published widely in the UK and USA, including in Acumen, Ambit, Gutter, Magma, Mslexia, The North, Rattle, The Rialto, and The Reader and have been performed on BBC Radio 4. Marjorie is also the Poet in Residence at Jupiter Artland and was the Writer in Residence for 2015 Spring Fling and the Wigtown Book Festival. She has run numerous writing workshops for those and other residencies, as well as for writing groups, Open Book, and most recently, the Scottish Poetry Library and the National Galleries of Scotland.
