Shawn Simmons was born and raised in a blue collar Philadelphia. Raised a generation of lost children looking for purpose and screaming for attention. The life of Simmons is pulled together by these two principals, the lost soul searching for some purpose and the mechanical nature of 9 to 5 work. Through his life, Simmons has experienced near death experiences for himself, bankruptcy, violence in his neighborhood and death of friends. Simmons has been called a poet from Generation X. The lost, the hungry, the ones searching for hope and finding it all in precarious places. Finding solace in death, drugs, lust, God and writing. He uses writing as an escape from the reality just outside the window.
