Jamie Dillingham

If you don't learn to write your own story, someone else will write it for you

My name is Jamie Dillingham, and I'm 19 years old. I am a graduate of A.C. Reynolds High School, I live in Asheville, North Carolina, and will be attending Warren Wilson College this fall. I search for words in everything, and hope that the ones I find will mean something to other people, and perhaps help them with their life. I am a Glossophile, a Logophile, Anthrophile, and practically a Pantophile. If you like something, let me know. I imagine what I would say to people if ever given the chance, I don't have to speak directly, and that is what's liberating about writing, it's therapeutic in that I can say whatever I feel. I wish more people heard me, but that's okay because still, I am heard. I tend to let the meanings of my work remain up to others. --Oh, and never judge a poem by its title.
