Biography
I was born in Chicago, Illinois and became interested in writing poetry as a teenager. My mother had always had a big love of books, and she passed this love on to me. I was also very fortunate to have mentors who inspired me to write. One person who encouraged me was Gwendolyn Brooks, whom I never actually met, but she once sent me autographed books and words of encouragement. Over the years, I’ve had my poetry and short stories featured in numerous anthologies. My biography has appeared in Who’s Who volumes that were published in the United States, England and India. My Biography has also appeared in Gale’s Writer’s Directory. I am currently being honored with the Marquis Who’s Who Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award. My poetry is inspired in large part by a great love of nature and the beauty in this world.
