Biography

“I’ve always been a student of life and society, and writing is a wonderful form of meditation, a way to connect more deeply with the complexities of the human condition. And then, to be able to share the treasures that emerge with readers, well, that’s pure joy. I’m a spiritual thinker in many respects, committed to the unknown, the unexplored, and finding solace in the journey.”

Author, poet, publisher, editor, and blogger, D. A. (Daisy) Hickman’s author blog and website are located at SunnyRoomStudio.com. Hickman holds a master’s degree in sociology from Iowa State University; she earned a bachelor’s in legal studies at Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri. A member of the Academy of American Poets, she is at work on her second book of poetry.

In 2017, Hickman published ANCIENTS OF THE EARTH: Poems of Time. This collection of poetry captures a persistent wondering, inviting readers to explore the powerful dictates of time anew. Humanity is a story of inevitable sameness, yet, careworn individuals, yearn to transcend the confines of time: to peer beyond linear thinking, to glimpse inner peace, and to see beyond the finite lines of mortality.

Hickman’s 2015 memoir, THE SILENCE OF MORNING: A Memoir of Time Undone, speaks to loss and grief, but also to critical social and cultural issues. Examining our contemporary culture, its addictive tendencies and the troubling implications that follow, the author delves deeply into the spirituality of loss. Hickman notes how challenging experiences, such as the loss of a son, instruct and guide us, gently pointing us to a more universal message that helps us derive a better understanding of the human condition.In a 2014 release, Always Returning: The Wisdom of Place (a second edition of her first book), Hickman aptly reminds us that “insights we call wisdom must be learned repeatedly: each time, at a deeper, more profound, level.”

The wisdom in Hickman’s first book originated on the American prairie, specifically when she stepped back to look at the place and its people from a sociological and spiritual perspective, and with the maturing distance of adulthood and greater life experience. Noting how an organic and lasting wisdom had evolved over the ages in a place known for hardship, but great beauty, as well, the author felt compelled to articulate this for others.
