Darren White Biography

I am Darren, 22 years old. I write poetry in English, which is not my native tongue, not even my second language, but my third. Which is why you most probably will find a lot of crimes against grammar and spelling. Bear with me.

I can write in all sorts of conventional rhyme, but I prefer free verse. A few of my poems in Dutch have been published in an anthology. One of my English poems has been published in the "Love is Love" anthology for the (family of) victims of the Pulse-shooting in Orlando. I have recently (2018) published my first poetry collection "Intrinsic Brightness", availablde on Amazon.

I have translated Arabic poetry into English for Poetry Festivals. I like being Houdini, chained to the original poem and its conventions, yet freeing myself to deliver the best possible poem. I love it.

Darren.

Maybe a silly question, but how can you see a Soup member's Birthday? Sometimes I see heaps of members congratulating someone, but for the love of me I can't seem to find out how that is possible :D

It may not matter as much as you think, Darren - many people seem to remain 29, 39 or 49 years old for improbably long times.

Because they are most likely dark-haired women who need to re-dye their hair blond again ...

One thing I do want to know is why so many blond women dye the roots of their hair dark.
