  • Quintessential Listening: Poetry Online Radio Presents DeeLynn Leigh

    Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode!

    Deelynn Leigh was born in South Boston, Virginia and grew up with her family in Carson City, Nevada. As
    a young girl she engulfed her life with athletics and outdoor activities. For relaxation she found her gift
    for writing while creating short stories. In grade school she wrote her first haiku poem which ignited her
    love for poetry and the ability to utilize words and strategic rhythms to express herself.
    Throughout the course of her life, she shared her poetry through spoken word opportunities from
    private to public stages and published independent works across various poetic volumes. Deelynn
    attended George Mason University where she earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and
    English with a concentration in Poetry. Immediately following she obtained her Master of Arts degree in
    Religious Education from Liberty University.
    Deelynn is very passionate about her faith in God through Jesus Christ and seeks to create poetry that
    glorifies God and encourages others. Her purpose in life is to spread the Word of God to all, striving to
    do this effectively through her written words. Her poems are a testimony of God’s love, His mercy, and
    His grace. One of her most motivated scriptures is Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you
    declares the Lord, plans to make you prosper and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future.”
    Her latest book is Lift Up: Inspirational Poems & Devotions which can be purchased online at
    Amazon.com. DeeLynn is also finishing a new book which will be available later in the year.
