Douglas Kaine McKelvey

Douglas Kaine McKelvey is a published poet and songwriter who found inspiration for his writing from his earliest years growing up in Texas. "As a child I had an intuitive sense that the world around me was a cloak and a veil, hiding something beneath it that was by nature mysterious, eternal, and more wonderful than anything I could see with my eyes or touch with my hands."

The joy of discovering life's hidden mysteries and experiencing their beauties and sorrows shines through Mr. McKelvey's poetry and stories. He now lives outside Nashville with his wife, Lise Maria, their daughter, Anastina Mansi, and a big black dog named Luke.
