Billy J. Barnum is a direct descendant of the famous Phineas Taylor Barnum AKA (The Greatest Showman on Earth). He grew up in humble beginnings and found his love for writing songs and poetry in his early teens. Barnum is widely referred to as “The Simple Mans Poet” because he uses words that are easy to understand and that flow within his poetry. Unlike some other works where you have to stop mid-poem or story to look up a word in the dictionary or on Google. Genius is not figuring out how to squeeze as many adjectives or big words into a story but being creatively simplistic.
