Marion began writing poetry at thirteen years old for a poetry-class notebook assignment. She continued writing poems throughout grade school, mostly in high school. In eleventh grade, she entered the Young Georgia Authors Writing Competition with her poem “Child of God” and received an award for advancing to the second level of the competition.
During her first two years attending Georgia Southern University, she entered a slogan contest for the Georgia Southern Writing and Linguistics Center and received the first choice from a student body vote. Throughout her past and present college experiences, she has continued to write poems born from inspiring moments and memories.
She is currently a senior at Georgia Southern University in Savannah, Georgia, majoring in elementary education. She is also a certified horseback riding instructor at her family’s stables in Midway, Georgia. Her poetry is written to inspire, encourage, and share her heart about faith, friendship, nature, love, and hope.
Within this first collection, she has included several poems written by her aunt Lolete Falck Barlow, who is also a published poet of the collection of poetry Unheard Melodies. She has also included illustrations throughout the book, painted by her mother, her grandmother, herself, and a local artist in Richmond Hill, Georgia.view less
