troy ulysses davis
I am a forty-one year old father of two and novice poet, writing to share the gift. I will share more of my work eventually. I look at writing as a hobby with potential. My first three collections of poetry are ready to go to press. I expect to self -publish. Currently developing a comic strip. Writing is a healing mechanism for me.
