Roger Desy (rogerdesy)

I taught literature and creative writing and edited technical manuals. My plan throughout was to write. I’ve come back to short lyrics, where I began and again find myself. Poems are in Cider Press Review, Kenyon Review, Mid-American Review, The Pinch, Poet Lore, and other journals. Early mornings it’s only the poem. I think of my work as new romantic — an effort that integrates a small soul with the heart of nature, a promise made by the core romantics never realized.
