Writing with Maryann DiEdwardo
Writing is a podcast by Maryann DiEdwardo, a researcher, poet, essayist, artist, and author of fiction and non-fiction works. Imaginative literature reflects reality. Writers and poets act as visionaries who compress emotions into words. My work connects Neuroscience with Theatre Arts. Dr. DiEdwardo has taught English, literature, and research in Pennsylvania colleges and universities; she co-founded Pasda Studios School of Art and co-facilitated Fine Art programs for students of all ages for thirty-two years. In 2004, results of her case study research suggested that the integration of music in the college classroom improved students’ grades and abilities to compose thesis statements for research papers in courses that emphasize reading and writing skills. In her initial study, Dr. DiEdwardo refined Howard Gardner’s 1993 definition of music as a separate intellectual competence. Subscribe now!

To enhance our learning community as we define and implement cultural poetics, with commentary that presents visions of global literary studies, I use compassion and agape love, or unconditional love.
