D.C. Public School System. A voracious reader and serious student of the Scriptures, he spent many years in his church ministries, especially in speaking and teaching. Writing Bible discourses, songs and poems, as well as attending writing seminars helped him to develop his writing skills. It was his eighth grade English teacher he says who excited his interest in poetry. There were two poems that he fell in love with and immediately committed to memory. They were Thanatopsis by William Cullen Bryant and The Raven by Poe.
Whitley says that he has read and studied many of the great poets of the world. He is especially fond of those whose writing style is similar to his, those noted for the use of everyday dialect as well as free verse. Whitley has read and has been the featured poet at venues all around Washington, D.C. This list includes Howard University, Martin Luther King Jr library, SW Library, NE Library, Oxon Hill Library, Bowie Library, Largo/Kettering Library, just to name a few.
Whitley’s books include The Truth About Capital Punishment and Thou Shall Not Kill, Christmas – The Lie That Everybody Loves, Proverbial Sayings of an Ordinary Man, The Plight of the Honey Bee and other poems; The Spectacular Rise and Foretold Fall of Christianity and My 69 Trilogies–Poems in Groups of Threes.ver menos
