Annette Hope Billings, Poet

Annette is an African-American, a Kansan, a poet, a playwright, an actress and a nurse, based in Topeka, KS. Since 2015, Annette has immersed herself in the boundless waters of writing and sharing her poetry and prose, and inspiring others. She has written two collections of poetry, and numerous one-act plays and short stories. Known for her performance delivery style, she has been received enthusiastically in many diverse venues. Those who have experienced Annette’s words on the page or on the stage have dubbed her “The Maya of the Midwest,” a moniker she allows with all due humility and gratitude. To ME, Annette will always be The SuperModel Of Love. Her first book of poems, A Net Full of Hope, garnered the Topeka, KS 2015 ARTSConnect Arty Award for Literature. Her second book, Descants for a Daughter, is a very timely collection of affirmations/meditations. Follow Annette & Buy Her Books at http://anetfullofhope.com & www.facebook.com/ANetFullOfHope
