National Book Month

This month, we're diving into some books. Join us over in our archives!

The heartfelt work of poet Maria Mazziotti Gillan is deeply rooted in her childhood memories of Paterson, New Jersey. She grew up in an Italian immigrant neighborhood, learning English only after starting school. She is the author of over 20 books of, and about, poetry.

Our team greatly appreciates support from our viewers—your gift helps State of the Arts spotlight the most creative people in New Jersey and beyond. Thank you!
