B. Rankins was born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee and is one of seven children. He began writing poetry in the sixth grade.
He attended Middle Tennessee State University, where he took part in his first poetry slam in
1994. Darren began to submit his poetry
to newspapers and magazines and has been published in the Nashville Banner and Daily
News Journal, as well as chapbooks and poetry books across the country. Darren’s
passion for writing has given him the opportunity to share his beliefs with
others in the form of a successful Christian T-shirt ministry. The shirts are designed with a combination of
original poems, beautiful graphics, and timely Bible verses. Darren loved
writing as a hobby, but wanted to have a greater effect on people. He started his
own business, called Pure Thoughts,
in 1995 to sell his products and expand his circle of influence. He has sold or donated over 6000 t-shirts
worldwide. He has contributed to various
charities such as the Salvation Army and Feed the Children, as well as many
local causes. He truly believes in continually seeking knowledge from others
and takes part in group studies in several area churches. He is seeking to find
a better way to love himself and others around him. He is able to share the
knowledge he receives in the new designs he creates and the poems he writes. Darren
has spent a lot of time meeting with the public to share his message. He has
participated in book signings and public speaking engagements, and has been
interviewed on the radio. He enjoys speaking about Pure Thoughts and reciting
his poetry whenever he is given the opportunity. Darren is very pleased with
the success of his first book, Pure Thoughts, Volume One. He has already begun
work on his Volume Three. This will be a totally different approach to poetry
than his first two books. His goal is to take his readers to places only the
human spirit would dare to go. He has completed the CD version of Pure
Thoughts, Volume One, which will be released later in 2003. He also has an
excellent Digital Teardrops Video Biography of his life and accomplishments on
DVD. Darren continues to resides in the Murfreesboro area and is the father of four children: Joshua,
Michael, Ashley, and Amy. More information is available on Darren’s website at www.purethoughts.net.weniger sehen
