About the Author
Fochios, Marie G.: - Marie Georges Fochios was born in Pennsylvania in 1925 and moved to New York City with her Greek immigrant family during the Depression of 1929. With the advantage of free tuition, Marie graduated from Hunter College in 1946. Her love of learning continued to thrive for many semesters of graduate studies at Columbia University while she raised a family and worked as a fourth grade teacher at PS 24 in the Bronx for many decades. Engaged with and inspired by English Romantic poets, (Keats, Shelley, and Byron, among others), she would write poems for her own pleasure over the years. Recently, at the urging of mentors, she published a poem in Passagers, resurrected some of her older works, wrote and revised more recent works and is now presenting her first collection of reflections from her long and fruitful life.
