Her parents divorced when she was nine and she, her mom, and younger brother moved from Florida to PA to live with her grandparents. That first snow she experienced was a marvel, as was the spring, summer, and glorious autumn. She credits her love of nature and the change of seasons to that move. Her love of the written word began when her mom, Jean Reddington, taught her how to read before 1st grade. This fascination with words and reading continued in all of her elementary and middle school years until high school, where her English teacher, Paul Bradican, taught a poetry unit where he encouraged her to write poetry. “You’re good at it,” he said. “Keep writing!” She did. She graduated from Bloomsburg University with a BS in English Secondary Education, then earned a MA in English Education with a concentration in Creative Writing at Arcadia University. She taught grades 10, 11, and 12 English and Creative Writing for twenty-eight years in Central Bucks School District (PA), retiring in 2007.
Kane is honored to be named the 2006 Bucks County (PA) Poet Laureate.
She was diagnosed with MS in 1991, and her husband with Amyloidosis in 2015.
Marie Kane lives in Yardley, PA, with her husband, Stephen Millner, a photographer, painter, and mixed media and assemblage artist, and their rescue cats Casey Jones and Emma Peel.
