History / Biographical
Ida (nee Zhukovsky) Maze was born in Olgi, near Minsk, White Russia on July 9, 1893. Her family first immigrated in 1907 to the United States, moving next to Toronto and finally settling in Montreal in 1908. There Maze met and married her true love, Alexander Massey, whose name had been anglicized from Maze upon his own immigration. Maze began her literary activities with the writing of lyric poems. The majority of her poetry was written for children. Maze was also a writer of essays and stories that appeared in many journals and newspapers all over the world. Her book "A Mame" was published in 1931, followed by "Lieder far Kinder" (1936), "Naye Lieder" (1941), and "Vaksn Mine Kinderlekh" (1954). The book "Dina" appeared in Montreal in 1970. Maze was active in various cultural activities and was a leader of the vibrant Yiddish cultural activities in Montreal. She was often found in the Jewish Public Library during literary events. Maze also devoted Saturday to presenting a story time to the children of that same Library. Maze is best remembered, however, for the kind sustaining encouragement she provided at her "salons." Struggling poets, authors, and artists as well as already-established names of the Yiddish literary world were found with regularity at Maze's literary salons. In her apartment, situated on Esplanade Avenue, Maze and her guests would critique and discuss each other's work and the state of literature. This kindness also extended to assistance in finding jobs and homes for immigrant poets. Her approachability and strength shown to other earned her the name, "Mother to Yiddish Poets".
