Maria Grech GanadoMaria Grech Ganado (b. 1943 - Malta) was the first Maltese woman to be appointed a Full-Time Lecturer at the University of Malta where she lectured in English Literature. She has published five volumes of verse - three in Maltese (Izda Mhux Biss, Skond Eva & Fil-Hofra Bejn Spallejha ( the first winning the National Book Council’s Prize in 2002) and two in English, (Ribcage & Cracked Canvas) - and has been translated from Maltese into English, French, Italian and German, and from English into French, Greek, Spanish and Czech. Her work has been extensively published in England, France, Italy and Cyprus, and she has been invited to symposia, readings, book fairs, festivals in Cyprus, Wales, Germany, Italy and Lithuania. In 2000, she received a national award, the MQR, for Service to the Republic. She also works extensively on translations into English of other Maltese writers and in November 2005 co-ordinated an international symposium, Re-Visions - Literary Exchange in an Expanding Europe, held by the literary organisation and NGO, Inizjamed, of which she is a member, with the Culture 2000 organisation LAF in Malta. One of her poems was carried by the European Commission’s anthology, May Day (2006). Maria has three children, Xandru, Francesca and Louisa, whom she considers essential to her curriculum.
