James Hearn is a resident of Dahlonega, Georgia. Although he was born with
Cerebral Palsy, James has chosen to live his life focusing on his abilities rather
than his disabilities. He has always enjoyed reading good books and writing
papers on various subjects. James began writing poetry in high school and, after a
brief hiatus away from his passion, has been motivated in the last couple of years
to begin writing again. Many of James' poems are inspired by ConnectAbility's
Thousand Word Photography project. James uses his personal computer to write
his poems and though he cannot use his hands to type, he adapts by manipulating a
floor device with his foot to type his poetry.
