Bio:
Born in Italy, I have been living in Minneapolis for the past twenty three years. I write poetry and stories in both Italian and English. Writing for me has become a love affair, and at times an escape from the every day fast-paced life of work. I love words and I like to challenge myself. I have surnamed myself the “accidental writer” because my writing has no scheduled time. This title has allowed me to forgive myself for not writing on a daily basis and hiccup my way to the end of my stories.

Some of my poems have been printed in the Southwest Journal since 2007 and some are part of a collection of poetry in the book "SEASONS: Poems from the Southwest Journal Poetry Project". I also published a book titled "LOVE, LUST, and Love".

My other artistic loves are design, travel, and photography. You can see some of my design work at www.mariacampo.com. For my photos check the Northogallery.
