HI FOLKS! In the month of February 2026, I’ll be revising my site, and it will look very messy for a bit. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at robertallenpoet@gmail.com — Have an awesome day, full of poetry.
Hi, welcome. Thanks for stopping by my site. You’ll find some of my poetry here, and information about writing coaching and editing services as well. My hope is there’s something here that will interest you. I’m always available for a conversation about my offerings; just drop me a note with any questions you might have.
I’m a poet, teacher, and writing coach living in Oakland, California with my family. I studied comparative literature and languages at Seattle University and Antioch University. As a coach, I can support you in finding your true voice, freeing the creative process, and producing publishable work.
I’ve published poetry, flash fiction, CNF, and book reviews in online magazines and print publications. I have two chapbooks, “Big Blue Hospital” and “Asphasia.” I’ve have been nominted for Best of the Net three times. But enough about me! Let’s talk about your poetry practice. Email or Zoom works for me.
My most recent Chapbook, “Aphasia”, is now available from Inkfish Press! Click here for details: www.inkfishpress.com/aphasia
