D.A. (Daisy) Hickman

As a dedicated student of life, society, and culture, writing is a fascinating form of meditation―a way to connect more deeply with the complexities of the human condition. I’m a spiritual thinker in many respects, intrigued by the unknown, the unexplored, and always striving to find solace in the journey.

I see the sun, and if I don’t see the sun, I know it’s there. And there’s a whole life in that, in knowing that the sun is there. —Dostoyevsky

Author, poet, and blogger, D. A. Hickman is the founder of SunnyRoomStudio: a creative sunny space for kindred spirits launched in 2010. Publishing since 1999, Happy Truth: Last Dogs Aren’t Always Last is a recent memoir about sharing a life with beloved pets, losing them, and deciding to love again.

“Sifting through the world of literature to share the resonance that others have felt for animals throughout the ages, we learn that the author is a keen observer of social intelligence and the best sort of human who is grateful for the magic, warmth, and happiness of animals.” ― Jacqueline Sheehan, NYT bestselling novelist

Earlier titles include: Ancients of the Earth: Poems of Time (2017), The Silence of Morning: A Memoir of Time Undone (2015), Always Returning: The Wisdom of Place (2014).

Discover more about each title on the Books page, Amazon, or Goodreads.

A member of the Academy of American Poets, Hickman is at work on a new book of poetry and a collection of essays. Academic credits: M.S. in sociology, Iowa State University; B.A. in legal studies, Stephens College in Columbia, Missouri.
