Hi, my name is Olivia and I´m studying Willow Moon Pearce and his poem called ¨Taught Racism" for a school poem reading. After I read the poem I need to tell more about my author. However the problem is that his page does not tell much about Willow Moon Pearce, so I was wondering if someone that knows Willow or Willow himself could maybe reply back with some basic information about him. Thank you!

(cont.) Besides featuring ‘racism poems’, I am featuring SHORT poems written by some of my PH “friends”. Any questions? Please feel free to ask. (cont.)
(cont.) AND i plan to put it into my usually-monthly-on-my-PH-site showcase***, this time for the month of August 2018. your name will be with it (twice) . (cont.)
i am collecting PH poems which i find in PH's list of racism-topic poems. this is the first i've read from PH's suggested list of 100. i LIKE this one, a lot. i will send it to MyPoemList. (cont.)
The colour or race of an individual does not matter, what counts is that one is born a worthy person. Brave utterances set aside for honest reflection. Thanks for sharing Willow and do remain enriched.
