Bio for 2019
Philip is a Lexington native who has been writing poetry since his high school days, but only started taking it seriously relatively recently. He is also an aspiring novelist with a book series in the works. His focus is on human relationships, the quiet battles that everyone faces, and how we, as individuals and as a community, come together to overcome these issues.
Reason for signing up:
A dear friend recently said to me that we sometimes have to pay for the poems we write. I want to make something positive out of the trials life has given.
