Avery Locklear resides in Lumberton, North Carolina. He is a descendent of the Lumbee Indian Tribe of North Carolina. As a young boy he loved to read and write. He mostly enjoyed reading true stories about the life and culture of people. After the death of his parents he began to reflect on memories from his own childhood. Avery felt inspired to write about his own culture and from the teachings of his parents. Times were tough leaving the farming fields and jobs were few and far between. After high school Avery spent ten years in the military, three with the Marine Corps and seven with the Army National Guard. After Avery left the military he began writing again. Avery’s writing expresses his deep poetic feelings about the love and tragedy he has experienced throughout his life, growing up in North Carolina and during his military travels in country and abroad to Germany and Italy. His writings convey a deep spiritual message and heart felt feelings that seem to echo a mixture of his culture and memories from his father’s sermons. Through sharing his poetry it is Avery’s sincere desire to inspire, encourage, and to offer hope to people from all walks of life. To give back a written treasure to our society, to find solutions for some of life’s daily problems that we all face and to help others rebuild relationships.view less
