Maria Picone is a student at Goddard College’s low-residency MFA program and has degrees in philosophy from Rice and Princeton. She taught herself French after she attended a Descartes seminar as an undergraduate, in which she was the only one who couldn’t read French. Since then she has read not only philosophy but a wide range of literature in the original. She also has a personal affinity for French because she grew up hearing her grandmother often sing or curse in the language. Maria is also an amateur painter and photographer, whose work can be seen in the forthcoming editions of The Nassau Review and The Pitkin Review, her school’s literary journal.
