Hi! How are you doing? My name is Michael Teferi, I am a Poet, Writer, and Positive Psychology Coach here on Substack. I was born here in Washington, DC, and grew up here in DC, Arlington, and Alexandria, VA. I became a Poet officially in March 2025 on Substack. I started writing a poem every so often. Month later in the Fall/Autumn season, I became extra inspired by a Career Coach and Mentor, so I began delving deeper into my intuition as a Poet and started writing poems multiple times a week. In November 2025, I submitted my first poetry collection, “Transformation”, to a small presser based in Colorado, Alternating Current Press. I learned from their website that their timeline for publication is 2027/2028. In the meantime, I started using Canva afterwards, to develop myself towards the potential opportunity to self-publish “Transformation”.
