Neurodiverse Language Wizard
William May first began writing poetry when he was a young boy at a school for learning-disabled students in New York City. Being dyslexic, reading and writing were skills William had to work hard to master, but he believes that the effort and struggle taught him to appreciate language and recognize its power from an early age.
William has always had an interest in presenting his works, not only in written formats but through reading and performance. While, in the past, this often took the form of readings in his local community, he is currently focusing on growing his audience through social media posts presenting his poetry in various formats, as well as through his personalized newsletters.
A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College and the University of North Carolina’s MFA in Creative Writing, William currently resides with his fiancée Melissa Myers on the southeast Florida coast.
