Billy has spent his entire life living in Western Tennessee and the Mississippi Delta. He began writing stories and poems as a boy and continues that practice in the present. His favorite form for the past twenty years is haiku. Also, he writes longer poems. Billy’s work, until now, has been stored in files and boxes in his home; over the past five years, he has posted a “daily” poem to his Facebook page and has engaged regular readers among his Facebook friends, including those across the U.S., Canada, England, Scotland, and Ireland.
