About our Featured Poet, Roy Roberts

I have been paid for a variety of undertakings during my curious safaris into the brambles. My parents and I farmed.  I drove truck and did odd jobs for a lumber yard – including cutting glass and grass. I have been a preacher, a pastor, an English teacher of high school students, an adjunct professor of philosophy and medical ethics. For the past nine years, my wife and I have worked our produce farm on the land where I grew up. The one constant braided through every endeavor has been my ache to write. It pushes, fusses with, and entices me.  It fidgets with drumming fingers and tapping feet, fizzing incessantly: “Try to dig up and ship out what you have sifted during your mountain summits, your ragged tumbles down gravel slopes, your struggles to regain footing.” 

All of this is the meat and bone of my poems – and essays.  I invite you to join my pursuit. My first book, Wrestling Thunderbolts, is available on Amazon (search Wrestling Thunderbolts Roberts).  My second book, Tree Line, should be ready for release in early 2025.  - Roy Roberts
