Mike
Schiller was born in New York, NY, and grew up in Nyack. Although he
received extensive training in the performing arts as a child, he found
his preferred medium of expression was poetry. He developed his own
style of writing, which he describes as “progressive romantic” - his
primary influences being romantic era poetry and present day rock music.
He launched his poetry website in November 2000, and shortly thereafter
began writing political editorials as well. Both his poetry and
political material have since been featured in magazines and
newsweeklies throughout the world - some of which credit him as a
regular contributor. Though most of his early work centered on his
personal life, his recent work has increasingly centered on global and
national issues. He self-published his first book of poetry,
“Sentences I Freed From The Ropes They Tried To Weave Around Me” in
Spring 2002. At 26, he continues to reside in New York. |
