Magie Dominic (born 1944) is a Canadian poet, author, and artist who was born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland. Her first memoir, ''The Queen of Peace Room'', was shortlisted for the Canadian Women’s Studies Award, ForeWord magazine’s Book of the Year Award, and the Judy Grahn Award. Occurring over a week-long retreat at an isolated retreat house, ''The Queen of Peace Room'' is an exploration of memory and of violence against women and children. A second memoir, ''Street Angel'', is set in Newfoundland in the 1950s, but ranges over a 70 period involving the same protagonist and her family. == Life == After growing up in Newfoundland, Magie Dominic moved to the United States, where she studied at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, New School University, Franklin Furnace, and Open Theatre.〔 She became active in the anti-war movement during the 1960s.〔 She was involved in protests, readings, and demonstrations with Moondog,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.moondogscorner.de/bilder/gall%201966.htm )〕 Alan Ginsberg, and Andy Warhol.〔 She was also involved in the Off-Off-Broadway theatre movement at Joe Cino’s Caffe Cino, where she performed and directed.
