Ever since watching Star Wars as a young child, James D. Ardis has been on a quest to write something that has as much of a profound effect on the public as the epic series. Since his publishing debut in December of 2006 he’s made a splash putting together a string of 10 publications in places such as Volume, High Contrast and Teen Ink magazine. He’s also written a self-published novel entitled The Shadow Man. He attributes much of his success to his fourth grade English teacher Anna McCleary who was his stimulus to jump into the writing scene.

Here are all poems from his series on Zine5, Idle Lines for the Misinformed
