Maria has lived in the ancient seaport town of Aberystwyth for eight years. She finds being surrounded by the sea, mountains and blustery Welsh weather invigorating for her poetry. Maria earned her BA and MA in English and Creative Writing at The University of Aberystwyth where she is currently in the midst of her PhD. Maria tutors in the English Department as well as teaching writing online for The University of Maryland, European Division. She writes ecstatic poetry which explores how our physical and spiritual lives are inextricably tied up in the lives of those around us.
