Larry Rogers is a poet/songwriter. Growing up, he lived for a while in Berkeley and Compton, California, but was mostly raised in a potting shed trailer in the piney woods of west central Arkansas--a sanctuary for moonshiners, marijuana growers, and merry (and not-so-merry) pranksters. Currently, I live in Edmond, Oklahoma, with my wife, Judy, We have two grown children, Lily and Hank. My poems and stories have appeared in A Clean, Well-Lighted Place, The New York Quarterly, South Carolina Review, Kentucky Review, Pearl, Rattle, Hanging Loose, Nerve Cowboy, Wormwood Review, and the Denver Post.
