化旭，詩(shī)詞與書法愛(ài)好者。1955年生于河南禹州。1978年考入許昌師專，主修中國(guó)語(yǔ)言文學(xué)專業(yè)。先后在許昌地區(qū)展覽館、許昌市群眾藝術(shù)館等單位工作，歷任《許昌文化報(bào)》編輯、許昌市文化局文化科長(zhǎng)、《許昌日?qǐng)?bào)》總編室主任、山東青年管理干部學(xué)院辦公室主任。現(xiàn)為山東青年政治學(xué)院研究員、山東寫作學(xué)會(huì)副會(huì)長(zhǎng)。

自幼熱愛(ài)文化藝術(shù)，青年時(shí)期愛(ài)上書法，先后臨習(xí)過(guò)石門頌、張遷碑、二王行書、張旭草書、顏柳楷書、黃庭堅(jiān)行楷、孫過(guò)庭書譜等，近年酷愛(ài)王羲之的蘭亭序。時(shí)常研讀書法理論，提高對(duì)書法作品的鑒賞水平與理解能力，品味書法之美，錘煉書品。力求書作富含傳統(tǒng)古意又不失灑脫飄逸之神采，結(jié)體運(yùn)筆形質(zhì)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)且彰顯自由舒展之天性。書法作品得到中國(guó)國(guó)際集郵網(wǎng)的支持，編輯出版紀(jì)念中華人民共和國(guó)成立65周年郵幣卡珍藏郵冊(cè)。自作七律書法作品入選2014中國(guó)環(huán)藝書畫展。習(xí)書只為靜心、養(yǎng)性、健身，不附庸風(fēng)雅，亦不求成名成家，陶醉于自我欣賞，歷練品性，書品高下，自由他人評(píng)說(shuō)。

對(duì)古詩(shī)詞亦有濃厚興趣，近年創(chuàng)作詩(shī)詞作品近200首，主要活躍在網(wǎng)絡(luò)詩(shī)詞空間，得到廣大詩(shī)詞愛(ài)好者的好評(píng)與關(guān)注。近期被中華詩(shī)詞研習(xí)會(huì)吸納為會(huì)員。（責(zé)編 寧文英）
