About the author

A native of Preston, Lancashire, England, Darren Hobson's life has taken an international journey. In 1998, he moved to the area near Rome, Italy, where he resided and worked for a multinational company. His global experiences continue with his recent relocation to Turkey in 2025. This blend of English roots, Italian life, and now Turkish culture infuses his poetry with a distinctive flavor. Darren finds inspiration in the contrasting beauty and history of specific regions: Calabria, Italy, Yorkshire, England, and now the diverse landscapes of Turkey. These rich settings provide the backdrop for his intense and often evocative verse. Darren's journey as a poet began with submissions to various anthologies between 1990 and 2009. In 2014, he embraced the opportunities of social media and self-publishing, allowing him to share his work directly with a global audience.
