“I fell in love with poetry at the age of 9 years old. In third grade I won first place in the young author’s contest at Carver Elementary School in Hahnville, La when I wrote my first book of poems. Poetry is very special to me because it’s more than just reading it, you also can feel it. I’m so blessed and grateful for the world to finally be able to see my work, thank you Jesus.” Brittani Nechelle Darensbourg -Author.
