Quincy Hull (aka “Q”) has been writing poetry for over 30 years, and has been a member of the Still Black See Writers’ and Artists’ Guild for over 20 years. He has traveled extensively, reading and speaking at venues across the nation, including colleges from UWF and FSU to the University of Illinois, Loras College (Dubuque, IA), Northwest Missouri State University, and the University of Missouri. He has performed for and with some of the most respected poets in the nation. He has also been featured in several magazines and newspapers, including Pensacola’s own Independent News (IN) and the Pensacola News Journal.

Q moved to Pensacola in 2009 and joined the WFLF in 2010, and has since served a term as Vice-President of that organization. He has even starred in a play entitled “Thru the Eyes of a Child”.

In 2021 Q moved to Denver, Colorado where he quickly became a mainstay in the city’s poetry and arts scene. Q hosts an open mic for music and poetry at the Corner Beet Cafe (1401 Ogden St) every Monday, and he is a rotating host at the Friday night open mic at the legendary Mercury Cafe (2199 California St).

Q has published three poetry books: a compilation project entitled “Tribal Initiations” (2000), “Anarchism” (2001), and “Like Crabs in a Bucket” (2003). He has also produced or co-produced and released five CDs of his work: “Anarchism” (2003); “For Big Mouths and Bad Feet” (2004); and the compilation projects “Truth and Consequences Vols. 1 and 2” (2005, 2006) and “A Son Never Forgets, Ashe” (2015).

Q describes his most important role in life, and his primary source of pride and joy, as being a father to his daughter, Zahria Sage.
