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.

When I was gifted a PM back in 2014 I contacted soup and said there must have been a mistake as I hadn't applied for one - then I found it had been gifted and the donor wanted to remain anonymous - its the BEST gift I have ever been given all I wanted to do was to make them proud:-) hugs Jan xx
