Haley James is a writer living in Pine Lake, GA. In 2015, after joining a local writer’s circle, she re-integrated poetry into her work as a natural extension of songwriting, continuing to explore the fluid space between experience and memory. Her debut chapbook, i once had a dream that darkness was a language, released in July 2024, while her forthcoming book continues this exploration through longer form, always returning to the tender observation that has become her hallmark.
