Troy's Story
Troy R. Legette hails from Trenton, NJ, a city that shaped his early years. Now a resident of Florida, he carries a deep gratitude for the advantages his parents bestowed upon him. Troy’s journey was buoyed by a strong network of family and friends, their unwavering support fueling his ambition and drive.
Each poem he wrote held a reason for being. His first poems emerged after reading about a poetry contest in the newspaper during a difficult time. He entered the contest and continued writing from then on. This eventually led to the 2015 publication of his poetry book, “Social Climax,” through Xlibris.
