Bio

Wiss Auguste was born and raised in Jacmel, a small town on the southernmost coast of Haiti. He began writing acrostic love poems at the age of twelve, and by the time he turned 17, he had already won two poetry contests in his hometown. His writing unfortunately hit a snag when he migrated to the United States four years later. He was no longer an idealistic teenager, but a displaced young adult struggling to make sense of life.

Auguste eventually reconnected with his creative side after the passing of his father; he hid behind his poetry to show his weaknesses to the world without compromising his pride. His work is greatly influenced by the Romantic movement of the 18th century and the Symbolist movement of the 19th century.
