WHO IS HANNAH SIMS?

          Hannah Sims, neologist  extraordinaire.   Empress of the ink well.                

                                                   Waxer of all eloquence. 

 

 


                                                                          All joking aside.
 

Hannah Sims graduated from Briercrest College in 2013 where she took a degree in Applied Linguistic: TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) with a double major.
 
While she may teach English, her own first language is really poetry. She began to realize this very early in her life and published her first poem at age nine (alright, so she really hasn't published much since then).  
 
Poetry is a passion of hers because, as she maintains, deliberate and sparing words can often express the parts of the soul which cannot be explored through profuse prose. Poetry, as a creative art, reflects the creativity of the true Word and can be used by Him to speak powerfully and poignantly into the heart of the listener.
 
Through some of her recent studies, Hannah has found it crucially important as a Christian who writes to find a voice and style which seeks to artfully reflect truth rather than propagandize it.
