WELCOME TO THE CREEK BEHIND THE AMBER FIELDS -

WELCOME TO MIDWEST HYMNS -

Hello! You may have stumbled upon this page or may have been a long time reader. However, I’d like to introduce myself. I’m Oliver Dylan and this is my publication Midwest Hymns. I’m a twenty-six year old artist and writer who has been working diligently since childhood to pursue my passion and life-force: creation.

I’ve written three full-length novels that are all in the process of editing and looking for publishing opportunities! I’m hoping to release them one-by-one in the coming year(s). Though my novels are proud achievements, I am at heart, a poet, having been raised by a mother who procured my talent and weaned it over my youth into articulate obsession. Alike my literary heroes; Arthur Rimbaud, Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Joan Didion, to name just a few, I would like to dedicate my life to the pursuit of crafting words into meanings.

Interested in coming along on my journey through this wild and absurd life, documenting it along the way while learning and growing? You may want to subscribe below.

Not only will you get access to all email newsletters I send out, updates on my publishing journey (pst, a new poetry collection is hitting amazon soon!), every post I publish, you will also gain access to my entire publication archives.

I believe everyone searches for beauty and meaning in this life, so come, be part of a community of people who share your interests. Participate in the comments section, or support this work with a subscription.
