Marilyn Struzik, a retired teacher, lives in New Jersey with her husband, Robert, who is always there to help her maneuver through the "mysteries of the computer". During the summers, they spend time at their family cottage on the shores of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada. These summers have been the inspiration for many of her poems.
