     Hailing from Blacksburg, VA, August Reynolds' aims to tell and retell stories of people, hardships, society, and our ability and inability to forget. August draws inspiration from the American writing styles of the early-mid 20th century by detailing important, relatable stories and interactions through a more accessible, reserved writing style that teeters on the line of complex and over-simplified.

August has seven poems currently accepted for publication in places such as The Red Cedar Review, Philologia, in an anthology soon-to-be created by Eber & Wein, and a four-poem microchap accepted for publication here, with Origami Poems Project. The poem in the anthology is currently in the semi-finals of an international poetry competition put on through Poetry Nation by the parent publishing company, Eber & Wein. Both the poems in The Red Cedar Review and Philologia have already been successfully published by both and are found on their respective websites."
