Carson Wignall views writing as a form of spiritual discipline. With undergraduate and graduate degrees in Philosophy, he has always been drawn to exploring profound ideas. During his work in social services, Carson discovered poetry as a unique language—a way to transform personal confession into mythic imagination. He is now deepening this practice as a master’s student in Creative Writing (Poetry) at Dominican University of California while teaching English at the secondary level.

Carson’s writing mainly explores self-identity as a quiet rebellion of becoming, dwelling on the tension between seeking transcendence and living as a divided self. He invites his students to see poetry as a form of revelation, helping them uncover their own heights and depths within a supportive community of writers dedicated to the joyful, yet challenging, process of making experience meaningful.
