Michael Tucci Biography

I have dabbled in poetry from a very young age. In college as an English major, I took several years of creative writing, lucky enough to have a professor who was actually a published poet, and learned that poetry was not such an easy thing as I had supposed.

After a long hiatus after college, some two decades, I began writing again as an extra dimension to a dark, instrumental music project I have called Conscience Whispers.

Poetry, to me, is about sound and imagery, about evoking emotion from within, not from the surface. Words are mere notations on a page in prose, but, in the hands of a poet, they are power, dream, mysticism, fantasy- they create a realm in and of themselves not accessible by mere writing.
