Lamont Neal
Lamont Neal is a writer of creative nonfiction and poetry. Though he began writing early in life, he spent many years keeping his work private, sharing it quietly through journals, blogs, and social media, before returning fully to his creative practice. While he built a successful professional career, Lamont eventually embraced the truth that financial security is not the same as truly living. Writing became the place where lived experience, both painful and profound, could be examined, shaped, and shared.
He is the author of the self-published memoirs For Chloe, A Thinner Life, and Hey Nico, Got a Minute?. His current manuscripts include A Tree in a Storm (creative nonfiction) and Unearth (poetry). His work has appeared in Poetry Habitat, Spillwords, and Blood + Honey.
