WHO IS A. JARRELL HAYES?

A. Jarrell Hayes is a poet, author, editor, and blogger from Maryland. He currently resides in Baltimore, where he spends his time perfecting his craft following his motto of words = life.

His epic fantasy fiction can best be described as “Lord of the Rings with black people!” His first series, The Good King Trilogy, is an immense undertaking chronicling the rise, reign, and fall of king in ways that have yet to have been done in literature. The story focuses more on what the hero, Edgar Winefellow, does as king than his battle for the crown, allowing for deep insight into the psyche of one charged with the duty of overseeing a world. The characters move the story along, not merely used as plot devices.

His poetry encompasses the wide range of human thought and emotion. One of his main heroes in the realm of poetry is Paul Laurence Dunbar, because he didn’t box himself in using one style and was able to articulate the experience of his people using more traditional language and form, such as sonnets, as well as the dialect native to his culture and people. A. Jarrell Hayes attempts to continue this legacy of versatility.

In addition to writing and publishing his own work, A. Jarrell Hayes is the founder and editor of the Dead Poets? Review, a free daily online journal featuring a poem from either A. Jarrell Hayes or a guest poet. His services are now being offered as a poet creating custom poems to celebrate special occasions for others. He works for Examiner.com covering literature events in the Baltimore area, while also showcasing area authors and poets. If writing happens to be your passion, he has an online store where he designs and sells fun hats, shirts, buttons and more for the writer in you or the writer in your life.
