About Devin

  Devin Aisling is the pen name I use for my poetry.  In Gaelic, Devin Aisling means poetic dream.  The pen name I use for all my other creative writing is Corvi the Crow.  Corvi comes from a nickname a dear friend gave me.  After reading one of the many books about the Legend of King Arthur, I added "the Crow," after a character whose father called her Corbie Crow.
    I am an eighteen year old poet, born in Canton, Ohio.  My ancestry includes Irish, Scots, Welsh, and Cherokee.  Some of my many interests include writing poetry, reading, playing guitar, listening to almost all types of music, singing, acting, ballet, Irish step, Celtic society and myth, and fantasy.  My favorite animals include anything from the feline family.  I rescue abandoned cats... I have eight cats and five kittens right now. Seven cats are females named Tori, Micah, Luna, Ariadne, Natalia, Angel, and Donia. The male is named Azriel. Four kittens are too wild to catch, but one is a sweet grey female named Starr. Take a look at some pictures of my kitties. I design web pages for fun and (hopefully... someday...) for profit.  I have designed several of my own, including this one, and one for my mother's business.  My fledgeling company is called Rhiannon Concepts. E-mail Rhiannon_Concepts@yahoo.com if you are interested in my design services.
    I homeschool. I am enrolled in a correspondence school called American School.  I am finishing my 12th grade year.  I plan to go to DeVry in Columbus, Ohio, to major in computer science.
    Currently, I am preparing my collection of poems for publication.  The collection will be called "Devin's Kaleidoscope."  It contains over 100 poems divided into five sections.  Nature contains poems on (duh!) nature.  Mystical Pathways contains poems about mystical thoughts, feelings, and visions.  Poetic Ramblings includes poems about my innermost thoughts, and a few random poems.  Moments of Darkness covers poems on depression and death.  A Tempest of Love discusses the absolute joy of being with the one you love and the heartache that discord can cause.  If you would like to be notified when Devin's Kaleidoscope is finally published, e-mail DevinAisling@yahoo.com. I also write and edit a newsletter about literary techniques called "Mightier Than the Sword."
I have several poems published by the International Library of Poetry. "Gabby" was originally published in May 1997 in Touched by Grace and again in January 2001 in Nature's Echoes. "Different" was first published in July 1998 in the anthology Above the Clouds, and again in Nature's Echoes in January 2001. "Sweet Butterfly Me" was first published in June 2000 in Awaking to Sunshine and again in Nature's Echoes in January 2001. "Inquisition" and "By Light of the Moon" were both published in January 2001 in Nature's Echoes. "Dreamscapes" was recently accepted for publication, though I can remember when it is to be released.

   Well, luv you all...  Devin.
