Michael Crawford is a 30-something husband and father. He has been writing seriously since mid high school, but teachers have encouraged his talent since elementary school. Crawford was born in Oklahoma but was raised all across the Southern states, finally stopping in Virginia (Hampton Roads) until graduation and then making his way to New Orleans. He currently does live performances for junior highs, high schools and colleges. He is well on his way to making poetry a career. Keep your eyes and ears open--you'll see him one day.
