About the Author

Sandy McLaren Day grew up on Long Island in Freeport, New York. She was one of four children and as a youngster always utilized writing as a retreat away from the trials and tribulations of life. It served as a form of therapeutic healing. Her desire to become a poet always lingered beneath the surface of her conscious mind but it was not until senior year at Freeport High School that Sandy ventured into the spotlight. She competed in a school-sponsored event that emulated amateur night at the Apollo and won the second place prize. This served as a platform to other performances that she participated in both at Temple University in Philadelphia and Queens College in Flushing, NY which is now her alma-mater.
Sandy currently possesses a BA from Queens College in Interdisciplinary Studies (Africana studies & English) and is currently working on her MA in Childhood Education. She has been inspired by and enjoys reading the poems of other great poets such as Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Maya Angelou and Philip Levine.
