Poetic storyteller and artist, Lisa Marcia Morris, was born February 2, 1966, to a Trinidadian mother and Bajan father in Long Island, NY. Amidst a menagerie of Caribbean wise tales, Marcia was introduced to poetry by her mother. Mary Austin's The Sand-Hill Crane, Grimm's' Fairy Tales, and Aesop's Fables, along with iconic authors, Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein, rounded out Marcia's reading. In High School, poetic seeds took root. Her first printed work, An Old City Block, vividly described the weathered and beloved character of an urban "stomping ground," appeared in 1984 Eureka Poetry Magazine. Marcia received her Bachelor's degree from NYIT. She currently works in public broadcasting.

Morris, inspired by authors and great thinkers such as Don Miguel Ruiz, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Rhonda Byrne and Deepak Chopra, inspires the mature, universal mind of readers from her own unique ethos and perspective. As wisdom hunter, she considers herself a late bloomer. It was the love and support of family and friends that inspired her to seize the power of TODAY at any age, to publish and share her stories and poetry with the world.
