Madeleine Marie Slavick is an author and photographer whose work is notable for crossing cultural barriers.[3]

Slavick has traveled widely, lived in the United States for 25 years, in Hong Kong for 25 years, and currently lives in Carterton, New Zealand. Her photographs have been exhibited internationally.[4] Reviewer Bradley Winterton in the Taipei Times described Slavick's Delicate Access as having "poise and a terse intelligence" with "nothing unbuttoned" and having a "minimalist concentration."[5] Reviewer Tammy Ho in the Asian Review of Books described her poetry as transforming small and "seemingly insignificant things" into "meaning-loaded symbols."[6] Reviewer Michael Ingham described her poem Mong kok Market, about life in Hong Kong, as depicting the "instant slaughter one cannot avoid witnessing at the live meat and fish stalls."[7] Slavik stated, "In the projects I undertake, I try to create a sense of community which enriches me, the other participants, and the audience."[3]
