Poetry

»   Original poetry by Northern California poet, R.D. King, who was a Fall 1978 graduate of the UC Irvine MFA program. Awarded an NEA in 1995—his poems have appeared in numerous literary magazines (The Literary Review, The Northwest Review, The Missouri Review, Poet Lore, Crab Creek Review, Cloudbank & Oberon). His brothers frequently carp regarding his apparent underwhelming success. Yet, he remains . . . undaunted.
