Antonio J. Hopson is not content to write in one genre. His poems, short fiction and novels employ the use of different styles, voice and perspectives to tell a story. Fences are not his thing. Antonio was born and raised in South Seattle and now lives in Shoreline, Washington State. He attended the University of Washington and studied Environmental Science, going on to teach biology after graduation. He has always had a love of writing and for poetry in particular. His works of poetry, speculative fiction, flash fiction and essays have appeared in numerous publications and he has received Farmhouse Magazine's Reader's Choice Award, performed at several events and has won recognition as an EPIC Award finalist and a 2016 Pushcart Nominee. Antonio's books include "Seven", a poetry anthology that spent three weeks at number 1 on Amazon's hot new releases. Antonio hopes to continue publishing and crafting stories in the future and is always on the lookout for new ideas for his stories and poems. And when he isn't working on new poetry, he likes to relax by painting, cooking, playing ping pong and scuba diving in the cold waters off Puget Sound. He also enjoys soccer, taking road trips and going camping in his '57 Security trailer with his two boys.
