Maria Mazziotti Gillan 1995

Here is a video Maria recorded in 1995 in her office talking about being the Executive Director of The Poetry Center at Passaic County College, and the Passaic County Cultural and Heritage Council.  

In the video, Maria also talks about how she came to be a student at Seton Hall University, began writing poetry and found her own voice. 

At the time, she was transitioning the publication of the Footwork literary magazine to the Paterson Literary Review of today.

Maria also reads some of her poems. Her new collection at that time was Where I Come From.
