Biography
I, Wil Michael Wrenn, was born in Charleston, MS. I have traveled across the United States and resided in several places, but I currently live in the hills of eastern Tallahatchie County near Charleston which I consider home. I have a special feeling for the hills, hollows, and landscape of North Mississippi. I am especially fond of Enid Lake which I consider to be one of the most beautiful, tranquil places I have ever seen. It has inspired many poems.
I have been writing since the age of twelve, first writing poems and then later lyrics and music. I bought a Sears guitar at age fifteen and taught myself to play it; I wanted to learn to play guitar so I could put music to my lyrics and then play and sing my songs.
I am a songwriter-member and publisher-member of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP), a national performing rights organization for songwriters and publishers. My music publishing company is called Autumn Fields Publications.
When not writing, playing music, singing, or teaching, I enjoy family and friends, reading good books, movies, travel, listening to good music, sports, spirituality, and just being out in nature.

Since then I have written hundreds of poems and songs, and I have had poems published in national and international anthologies and in magazines. Locally, a few years ago, I had a poem about Enid Lake published in the Spring/Summer 2014 edition of Batesville The Magazine. Since then, this poem has been published and featured in several publications. I have also published three books of original poetry: Songs of Solitude; Seasons of a Sojourner; and Enid Lake Mosaic; the latter two books were published by Silver Bow Publishing, of British Columbia, Canada.
