HOLLICE DANIELLE WILES
I spent the first part of my life as a nomad, but relocated to Albany in 2000, and have been here ever since.
As far back as I can remember, I have always been a writer. I won a 2nd grade poetry contest back in the day. My parents still have that poem up on the wall....much
to my chagrin. Since then, I have continued writing and had some small publishing in local papers.
I am inspired by small nuances of each day and the little daily occurrences that sometimes we walk by unnoticing. I believe there is an essential truth in all things simplistic and it links us all together. I enjoy writing because even those objects considered base, guttural, or insignificant can be transformed into divine symbols of hope.
To be honest, I prefer scribbling in the sidelines of my class notes and in the margins or my work...than standing in the a spot light. I don’t think of myself walking around with 'Poet' stamped on my forehead or sewn to my sleeve. It’s just more like something that seems so ingrained in my nature that I cannot help but keep writing.
I enjoy volunteering and playing guitar and like to travel whenever I get the chance, but Poetry seems to be the thing that sticks with me through out my life.
Poetry lets you say things without exactly saying them. It lets you speak things that you’d never dare say aloud...unless it was Poetry.
