GUEST POET -- DARYL A. FUNN
As I mentioned last week, April is National Poetry Month. For the next four weeks, I will feature poets that I admire. This week I’d like to introduce you to one of the persons who encouraged me to pursue my writing.
Daryl A. Funn (Mistafunn) was born on August 30 1972, and grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, where—entranced with Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Nikki Giovanni—he began to write at the age of 9.
As an author and poet, his poems and books feature a unique and refreshing style that engages the reader to become attached to the story. Many consider his approach innovative in that it never has just one way to look at the story even from the beginning. Moving to Georgia at age 24, he put himself through college earning a fine arts Bachelors in 2004.
