Over

Poetic storyteller, author and artist, Lisa Marcia Morris, was born to Caribbean parents in Long Island, NY. Amidst a menagerie of Caribbean wise tales and colorful island fare, Morris was introduced to poetry by her mother and found life and breath in favored stories such as Mary Austin’s The Sand-Hill Crane and nursery rhyme, Jack Sprat. Grimm’s’ Fairy Tales, Aesop's Fables, along with iconic children’s authors, Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, rounded out Morris’ eclectic reading list.

Morris received her Bachelor’s degree from NYIT. She has worked in executive recruiting, non-profit development, and most recently in public broadcasting media.

Morris remains true to her passion for organic creativity through story, verse and art. She is a wisdom hunter and receives great joy inspiring others through her poetry, stories and art. Among Morris' published work is The Beautiful Stuff, The Adventures of Princess Peanutty and Circle Dog, and Labyrinth of the Yellow Rose.
