Synopsis

The MUSE dwells in the subconscious accumulating and processing all experience. The MUSE plays the role of creator of much art, music and poetry. When the conscious mind is open, the MUSE gushes to the surface exposing its creation often without special effort by the writer. Many of the poems in ?Poet in our Midst? came about in this manner. The poems were infl uenced by a variety of experiences amongst family, friends, acquaintances or events. They are humorous, romantic, philosophical and political expressions that are part of my life. The writing of these poems has been a journey that I wish to share with you, the reader. I trust while reading them you will be entertained, enlightened and inspired. Thank you for peering into my inner-sanctum, I urge you to peer into your own. NO

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Raymond George Hartmann (aka - 'Ramon the Poet') lived his young life in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis. He is the middle son of three boys brought up in a typical Germanic family tradition by his parents George and Esther. Raymond worked at the family grocery as a youth stocking shelves and cleaning. At the age of 12 he entered a national Lipton Soup jingle contest winning a Magic Chef stove. While serving in the military during the Korean War era, he continued to write in a humorous poetic fashion in his letters home. In 1965 he wrote his seminal poem about the infamous Cassius Clay v. Sonny Liston fight in Maine when Clay became the youngest heavyweight champion with the alleged 'Phantom Punch'. He continued in the vein by writing an ode to his former boxing coach, George Glover (trainer of such notables such as Scott LeDoux), upon his mentors' retirement; sadly, both of these are missing. After a lull of four decades, when Raymond sustained a brain injury in an accident in 2003, Raymond's love of rhyme suddenly resurfaced and he began working prolifically on verse. Since then he has become an active Minnesota poet with several awards in regional creative writing contests from the Veterans Administration and, in addition, has a page on the Minnesota Artists website containing several of his works.
