Poet/Montessori Teacher/Mother
Marianne Tefft is a poet, lyricist and voiceover artist who "daylights" as the Upper Elementary teacher at Sint Maarten Montessori School. Born in the U.S. and raised in Canada, she has lived in the Dutch Caribbean since 2002. Her poems appear in print and online anthologies in Canada, the U.S., India, Serbia and Sint Maarten. She is the author of the poetry collections Full Moon Fire: Spoken Songs of Love (June 2022) and Moonchild: Poems for Moon Lovers (coming in December 2022). In past, she embraced the challenges of long-distance running and inter-island swimming. These days, she happily takes a break from writing and editing to listen in as her singer-songwriter daughter records in the next room.
