About & Contact Info

Erica Morrison de Roos was born and raised in White Plains, New York.

She graduated with her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Roger Williams University in Bristol, Rhode Island.

Although diagnosed with Dyslexia, she never let the fact that she could not spell hold her imagination back.

She wanted to be a writer ever since she could remember and received the Texaco poetry award in the sixth grade.

She has been an editor on two literary magazines and has appeared in Roger Williams' Aldebaran.

She currently lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband and their son where she enjoys skiing, Lindy-Hop Swing dancing and writing as much as being a stay at home mother will allow.

A lot of people ask me, "Are these poems true?" I laugh, it's called creative writing for a reason.

Reading a poem can be like looking at a piece of modern art, you leave a lot up to the interpretation of the person looking at it. They will wonder what the artist was thinking or feeling when they created the piece but really you may never truly know, unless you ask.

I leave these poems to your perspective, take them in as the little stories they are, the little voices I've created that wanted to be heard. Don't look for me in them but see them on their own. The individual pieces of art they are.
