Maja Trochimczyk: As an author of 10 scholarly books and hundreds of articles and book chapters, I'm well established in the music history world, with two main specializations: Polish music of the 19th and 20th centuries, and 20th-century contemporary music. A former Poet Laureate of Sunland-Tujunga and President of California State Poetry Society, I have published over 400 poems in journals and anthologies. I also wrote six volumes of poems and edited five poetry anthologies. I'm the Managing Editor of "California Quarterly," President of Moonrise Press, and have spent 30 years volunteering for Polish American organizations, such as the Polish American Historical Association. I belong to the American Musicological Society, and the Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences. The Moonrise Press published 36 books of poetry and music history. I received fellowships and awards from Canadian, American, and Polish governments, USC, PAHA, and American Council of Learned Societies. In 2016, I received PAHA's Creative Arts Prize for two books of poems inspired by WWII experiences of Polish civilians and children.
