Mary Anna Scenga Kruch is career educator, writer, and photographer who celebrates the natural world, Italian ancestry, and social justice in her writing. She has published a poetry chapbook, We Draw Breath from the Same Sky (2019), a full-length collection, Grace Notes: A Memoir in Poetry & Prose (2021), and a new full-length book, Water Marks (2024). Recent poetry appears in Peninsula Arts Magazine, Meat for Tea, and Lothlorien Review. Mary Anna is on the editorial board of The Awakenings Review, a journal representing work by poets, artists, and writers living with mental illness.
Book Launch: Mary Anna’s latest book, Water Marks, is inspired by the seas and ocean between here and her fatherland in Pofi, Italy, the lakes, streams, rivers, creeks, and marshes on her journey from childhood into elderhood, a lost sister, and the significance of letter writing, an often-permanent mark.
