About the Author

Mary Margaret was born in San Antonio, Texas, to Italian-American parents. Her talent for creative writing comes from being surrounded as a child, not with luxury but with beauty, art, literature, architecture, poetry and love. “Whenever our family gathered, there were stories to be told. These were great stories of the old and new country, and of the exciting and remarkable lives of relatives alive and passed. Each story was vivid and you could visualize its characters and places because it was told so eloquently and with great passion. “My father nicknamed me “Daisy.” He said my head was always in the daisies. I would come home with notes from school that I was daydreaming in class again. My father would smile at me and tell me it was important to accommodate my teachers during class time. My head was always filled with poems, and songs, and stories. My brother, Sonny, and I would put on plays under the big veranda in our backyard. We had stage curtains made from bedspreads. We would write the scripts and get the neighborhood kids to be actors. We would sell tickets and every kid in our neighborhood would come. It was a poor neighborhood and sometimes they didn’t have a dime, so we would take pecans or an orange or a marble or whatever they had to offer for entrance. Our veranda was always filled to capacity on those Saturday afternoons with kids chattering and enjoying the show. It was an awesome and wonderful childhood.” Mary Margaret is the recipient of the “Editor’s Choice” Award from the National Library of Poetry; 1995.
