Her first poetry collection, Rooted in Stars, now in its second printing, is part of The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. Her chapbook What I See presents ekphrastic poems, three of which have won international poetry prizes: the René Magritte Prize and the Salvatore Dali Prize. Maria’s poems have been choreographed and performed on national television, and she is the author of several plays. Among these is the verse-play Dreams and Loves of the Septre Family, which received the Bicentennial Award and was staged at Hartford’s Old State House, and The Yellow Light, winner of the One-Act Prize sponsored by the Hartford Stage Company, which produced it in concert. Her prize-winning video, Five Ocean Poems, completed with a grant from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, was distributed to public institutions throughout Connecticut. For many years Maria taught creative writing with an emphasis on poetry at Hartford College for Women/University of Hartford, and she has hosted poetry events at several venues including the Noah Webster House, Hartford’s Old State House, and the Charter Oak Cultural Center. Her work has been much anthologized and published by many literary journals. She has read at venues throughout the Northeast and at the Poets Library in Edinburgh, Scotland; and she has lectured on the work of many national Poet Laureates.\n
