Listen "ARTWIFE x The Inner Loop: Majda Gama"
Episode Synopsis
In 2025, ARTWIFE Magazine is teaming up with The Inner Loop to bring you interviews with DC-area authors! In March, April, and May, then again in September, October, and November, join us on the third Tuesday of the month to hear from recently-published novelists, memoirists, and poets in the DMV.
Today we meet Majda Gama, the award-winning author of In the House of Modern Upbringing for Girls (Wandering Aengus Press) and The Call of Paradise, (Two Sylvias, 2023). Her honors include the Graybeal-Gowen award for Virginia poets from Shenandoah Literary journal and the Gregory Djanikian scholar award from Adroit. Majda’s poetry can be found in Ploughshares, POETRY, Poetry Daily, Prairie Schooner, and is forthcoming from TriQuarterly. She is based in Northern Virginia where she tends to a native plant garden that is certified as a home wildlife sanctuary by the Audubon Society. Majda is currently a co-host of the long-running DC literary salon Café Muse.

The Inner Loop creates inclusive and accessible opportunities for our diverse network of both emerging and established writers to connect with each other, to connect to their community, and to transform the written word into a shared experience through the act of reading aloud. They put on monthly readings in Washington, DC, market writers who published with small- to medium-sized presses, host writing retreats and residencies, and provide other special programming throughout the year.
