Maria Hummel is an American writer. Her poetry collection, House and Fire, was winner of the 2013 APR/Honickman First Book Prize. She has written two novels: Motherland (Counterpoint, 2014) and Wilderness Run (St. Martin's, 2003).[1]

Publishers Weekly gave her novel, Motherland, a starred review and wrote that "Fear, grief, and the will to survive fuse in this beautiful novel about the inner life of a German family in the final months of World War II...."[2] People wrote that Motherland is "searing and honest, her book illuminates the reality of war away from the front lines ... with a compassion and depth of understanding that will touch your heart.[3]

Hummel was a Wallace Stegner fellow from 2005 to 2007 at Stanford University, where she currently teaches as a Jones Lecturer.[4]
