Inside Emotions

My name is Aly D. I've been writing poetry since seven years old. The first two were love. I write poems with all emotions and imagination. There are happy, comedy, depression, aggression, violence, love, life, break up, thankful, religious, and medical poems. All are written about different points of time in life or are just from my imagination. As I say, you give me a word or two and I will immediately make a poem for you.

There were two published in my high school yearbook and was published monthly in the New York Institute of Technology GAM newspaper. In college I won creativity awards for my poems, slideshows and collages. 

Two of my poems were published by Poetry Movement. The first is "Riding in the Light."  The second one is "Happiness."  They are able to be ordered through Barns and Nobles.  One of my religious poems was published by Our Lady of Mercy Church. In their newspaper Mercy Mirror. Medical poems were published for Beth Israel Hospital Child Neurology Center. NYU FACES  Albany Epilepsy Foundation , and The National Epilepsy Foundation published a website with eight poems.   "Cartoon Maniac" was published by Albany Poets, where I went to perform and receive a copy of the book. Three poems that are in my book,  were published by, Written Rocks in an Anthology. The title of the book is, "Short Circuit An Epileptic Journey," a poetic/memoir based on when I was diagnosed to now.

I attended New York State Writing  Institute located at Skidmore College July 2016, and won the first 90 second open mic contest there. I was accepted to Vermont Writing Retreat and attended February 2017.  I was also once again published by NYU FACES March/April news-letter, only thing this time it was an interview. 

Inspired Word NYC is a group I perform with every week, and was also a featured poet at the LIC Literary Festival 2016 and 2017. I was also a feature at Albany Poetry 2016 and 2018, The BXBK Book Fair 2019,  NYU Medical University 2019 , Columbia University Medical School 2019, The Story Collida 2019, IABX book fair 2019 to this summer, Albany State University 2023 and Adelphi University Medical School.
