Marge Hauser

Marge Hauser (Transit/Prodigal Sun) was born in California, raised in Massachusetts and now lives in New York City. She received a BA in French from Brown University and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Teachers College at Columbia University. After more than 35 exciting, challenging and fulfilling years as a New York City middle school teacher of French and Humanities, she retired in 2001 to pursue other interests including dance and writing. Her first collection of poems, written when she was six years old, was published by her mother in a black three ring binder under the title “Odes of Marge.” She has continued to write poetry and short stories ever since then and has shared both with friends and with students over the years. Her students were receptive, encouraging and helpful readers, and perceptive critics who helped her to develop and refine her work. Marge is proud of the fact that many of her former students are continuing to write and to share their work with her and with others.
