March of the Writers: Day 1 Introduction
Hey everyone! I’m Richard White, a poet and storyteller from Amsterdam, NY. I’ve been writing for as long as I can remember, but it wasn’t until I started battling my own demons—like PTSD, depression, and anxiety—that I truly found my voice. Writing became my lifeline, and poetry, in particular, allowed me to express what words often couldn’t capture.
I’ve self-published six poetry collections, including Shattered Glass and Speaking to My Depression, which explore themes of mental health, love, loss, and resilience. My newest book, Whiskey and the Autumn Wind: A Collection of Poems in the Hemingway Tradition, takes a fresh approach while still embracing the raw, introspective style I love.
When I’m not writing, you’ll find me connecting with fellow creatives, enjoying nature, or sipping whiskey by a bonfire. I believe in the power of words to heal, connect, and inspire—and I’m excited to share more of my journey with you this month!
Follow along as I navigate #MarchOfTheWriters and let’s get to know each other better.

Sure! Here’s an excerpt:
“In the quiet whispers of autumn winds,
I find pieces of myself among the falling leaves.
Each rustle a reminder—
That even in decay, there is beauty,
And in every ending, the promise of a new beginning.”
This is a glimpse into the themes of nostalgia, renewal, and resilience that I explore in my latest collection, Whiskey and the Autumn Wind.
March of the Writers: Day 3 Tune Up or Enjoy the Silence? 🎵✍️
When it comes to writing, I’m all about tuning up! There’s something about the smooth, steady rhythm of writing and studying lo-fi that helps me find my flow. It creates a soundtrack for my thoughts, setting the tone for the words to come.
Often, I’ll get lost in the music, allowing it to guide my writing. The ebb and flow of the beats influence the cadence of my poetry, adding an extra layer of depth and emotion to my work. It’s like each track helps me paint a different shade of my story.
I haven’t checked out the #MarchOfTheWriters playlist yet, but I’m excited to dive in tomorrow. Who knows? I might just find my new favorite track to write to!
