Hubertsvoice is a pen name for American artist and poet Hubert Williams. Born to parents Melvin Edward Williams and Wilma Tennessee Griffith in Cushing Oklahoma on April 2, 1952. Despite several moves as a result of his father's occupation as laborer on a cross country pipeline Hubert had a normal childhood his first few years. Hubert was a good student at the several different elementary schools he attended. Marital problems ended the marriage of Melvin and Wilma when Hubert was 12 years old. Hubert's older sister, Melva, who was fifteen at the time, went to live with an aunt on the mother's side, while Hubert stayed with his maternal grandmother. Hubert's interest in education deteriorated during that time, along with his grades. He began to clown around in school disrupting the classes. Hubert eventually moved with his father to the home of his paternal grandparents where he lived until he graduated in 1970 from Drumright, Oklahoma. After a short stint in the Army, Hubert wandered around Oklahoma for awhile before marrying his first wife in 1973. The marriage lasted less than 2 years. Several jobs came and went until his sister talked him into going to cosmetology school where he learned to be a hairstylist, a career that lasted for seventeen years. The second marriage was early into his career as a stylist and did not last as long as his first. His father died during this marriage, Hubert started drinking heavily after his father died, which placed the the final straw on the already weakened back of the marriage. During his two marriages he wrote many poems and stories which were lost during the breakups. Some of these writings were changed while trying to rewrite them. There were a few more female living companions and many more stories and poems written before he met and married the love of his life, Lulu in 1989. They have one son. At the time of this writing they live in the Philippines. Hubert continues to write. He publishes his poems in cyberspace, where he can be found anytime by typing his name.
