Ian A. Campbell immigrated to the United States from Jamaica W.I. in 1985. An avid student, he received his bachelor’s degree in sociology from Binghamton University and his master’s in real estate development from New York University. Campbell is a poet whose writings have encapsulated the human experience with a philosophical bent. He’s in search of meaning in each individual’s life as we search for rightness and purpose. His greatest hope is to produce works that can make a difference and become works that truly matter. His first collection, Life and Livity is an emotional journey with powerful life lessons. In this work, the introspective Campbell tries to place a firm grasp on life and all its complexities. They are a critical look at our current society and pushes the envelope to where we may go in the future.
