Promise of Light

I am a freelance creative and business writer with writing, editorial and newsletter experience. My specialities include poetry, short stories, personal essays and motivational quotes.  I like to incorporate creativity into my life.

"I hold a beast, an angel and a madman in me, and my enquiry is as to their working, and my problem is their subjugation and victory, downthrow and upheaval, and my effort is their self-expression." - Dylan Thomas

I am many faces and many moods. I am creative,passionate, intelligent, sensual, dorky, quarky, highly opinionated, abit difficult at times ( strong willed, and take no shit from anyone),incredibly shy; more of a loner ( I have never fit in a day in my life,and care not to), strange (outrageous and outlandish when I want tobe), and so much more! 

Writing for me is a very nessecary tool, in dealing with life and the series of unfortunate events it can sometimes throw your way. I am really just a colossal dork. I also advocate for lobster rights. You'll learn to love me lol.

I make things work that aren't supposed to. 

I'm a software architect always looking for ways to describe things in code.  Professionally I design websites and applications; as a hobby I write code to translate Roman numerals or find the distance between two passages of text or map fuzzy knowledge.

Software is as much an art as it is a science and I feel happy here.

Although I was born in Brooklyn, New York and still love the Big Apple, I have retired to a small town (one half block) in upstate New York and feel very content here.  Have been writing poems since I was 13 years old and have never regretted my interest in literature and the creation of literature.

Have been fortunate enough to be published in around 200 zines.  Since my speaking voice is supposed to be quite good, I have been thrilled to read my poems at The Nattional Arts Club (Gramarcy Park, NYC), McNay Art Institute in San Antonio, Tx., and other distinguished venues.

Psychonaut X is the pseudonym for a beginning writer named Christopher Provost who lives in Nashua, NH.  He has been writing semi-seriously since March 2009.  So far his work has been recognized by Utmost Christian Writers, Frogpond (twice), and Prune Juice, in that order. He primarily writes short form poetry like haiku because that's all he has time for.  The rest of his time is spent working, spending time with his family, and drinking himself into an early grave.

F. Davis Johnson is a songwriter, poet, and nature photographer as well as a professor of English and Journalism at Springfield Technical Community College in Springfield, Massachusetts. He lives on a small lake in Monson, Massachusetts with his wife and two adopted sons from Guatemala. A former World Record holder in Frisbee distance, Davis in his spare time can often be found negotiating the fairways of disc golf courses around New England.

Just a geek with a camera.  Always looking...
