Marcia Rajnus Goldberg is a poet and was an English teacher at Vanier College, a CEGEP in Montreal (St. Laurent), who has published five chapbooks of poetry (Still in Song, Waking/Seasons (with Judith Yarnall), Hot Teas, Kill Devil. Hills and Greetings for a Golden Age) as well as a collection of poems called In Mud Season (Empyreal Press, 1999). Most recently she is working on a body of poems centered around memories of marathon and champion swimmers, especially Florence Chadwick, called The Chadwick Cycle. She is currently at work on compiling her collected works. The astonishing power of the metaphor to attract the mind and stretch it for good use has been a constant motivation in this writer’s work. She has given and attended creative writing workshops, taught courses in writing short stories and poetry, hosted and presented readings across the US and eastern Canada, and recorded her work for radio.
