Anthony Hines-Tecoy

Have spent most of my life in Syracuse, New York. While attending SUNY@Albany, I had the pleasure of taking a creative writing course with famed author Mark Nepo. While at SUNYA, I developed the manuscript, "But what is Life...Anyway?" In 1992, I relocated to Atlanta, Georgia and worked in the communications industry. With the need to redefine myself, I found myself interested in the customer service industry, Hotel Management. The transition was a fine one. During many interesting encounters, i found myself rediscovering my writing voice.

Upon returning to Syracuse, I developed a new manuscript, "Thoughts...over a good cup of coffee." This manuscript of poems focused on conversations I would have with my customers/clients at the hotels in Atlanta. The pieces take one on a spiritual journey of their own...even though they are delivered in conversational form.

"Thoughts...over a good cup of coffee" tells a story of love, loss, despair, and my spiritual journey to find my true self.
