David Love Lewis, a native of Texas, moved to Shreveport in 1980. He lives here with his wife Doris Wyatt Lewis — a lover of books— to whom he’s been married to for more than 20 years. “She knew that I was a poet when we met and she still married me anyway,” he said.
Lewis is one of four recipients of the Shreveport Regional Arts Council $2000 Fellowship Award. Below he talks about the writers who’ve inspired him and his method of putting words to paper.
